“the school is admitting students who can’t read or understand sentence construction.”

NJ state schools were apparently guilty of this years ago when I was there; these affirmative action tokens would spend most of their days for several semesters in remedial classes (to get them up to the level of a white high school grad - who wouldn’t be admitted without having already passed these classes in high school), and if they hung on through that (earning no college credits in the process) they would then sit in classrooms for “real” classes watching in wonder as their fellow students discussed subject matter that was still years beyond them.

Many of these “students” dropped out pretty quickly; they knew they had no place there - they were years behind.

I'm sure Moochelle felt the same when she started her freshman classes at Princeton. Totally out of her league ... way beyond her competency level. Affirmative action queen.

This whole thing is so sad it’s unbelievable. It is an indictment of the government K-12 education system as well as our modern so-called “liberal arts” college system.

I really, really hope our STEM colleges continue to hold the line on objective achievement being required to obtain a degree.

That's how affimative action actually hurts the groups it's supposed to help: they wind up with fewer overall graduates than they would if honestly admitted to a lower ranking school where they could finish.

The whole purpose of affirmative action is make the white left-wing elite feel better about itself, to conceal how much power the white left-wing elite actually wields, and to punish their "lower class" white cultural enemies by denying them status tokens like a college diploma.
