I think liberal DemocRATS are pretty racist for believing that Blacks and Hispanics are so stupid that they need “bonus points to achieve a decent score on the SAT tests.
Are these public or private colleges that are giving blacks and Hispanics bonus SAT points?
Publicly funded colleges should not be able to give bonus points, but private colleges should not be limited as to who they give extra SAT points.
This is just bullsh1t.
And every race ought to be offended. Those getting points because liberals think they’re too stupid and they all must have liberal “help”. Those not getting anything because of liberal’s assumed white privilege. The asians who have had liberals make it impossible to get a perfect score if they can.
These asshats meddling in every aspect of peoples’ lives and believing they have a sovereign right to do so need to be dealt with. They are too far gone.
Doesn’t matter what SAT score they receive, their ability to work their way through the course material is what matters. A large percentage of blacks that enter College drop out during their first year. Just because you get an augmented SAT score doesn’t guarantee you will make it in College.
Bump
Someone ought to be sued somewhere.
Yep. This liberal utopia is really full of crap.
Libs will do ANYTHING for votes and power.
Yeah, this is a great recipe for success for a nation. Penalize the skilled and achievers and reward the less skilled and underachievers. Huzzah...
Do you want to hire an ethnic minority accountant who graduates from such a university where Black Privilege is implemented like this????
1. I know of no school that formally “adds” points to one’s SAT. The meaning here is that typically the overall effect of racially-discriminatory admission rates would be as if the school gave members of specific groups a score boost that is, on average, a measurable number of additional points. In the past, there were schools that actually “gave” points thusly, but the courts struck down this practice, and these schools now conduct their approach to discrimination somewhat more subtly.
2. Any school that takes any sort of federal funding, or participates in any sort of federal program on behalf of students, including Pell grants, guaranteed student loans, etc., is legally obligated to refrain from racial or ethnic discrimination, whether the institution is public or private.
3. The Supreme Court has made a narrow exception permitting private institutions to engage in some racial and ethnic discrimination to further the goal of “diversity,” which private schools have represented before the court as being necessary to provide the education they claim to provide. However, the court rules that this was only permissible if there were no other way achieve the needed diversity.
4. The constitutionality of these practices has been recently challenged in a class action suit against Harvard et. al. by rejected Asian students. Plaintiffs counsel believe that they can demonstrate to the court that diversity can be achieved without resorting to racial and ethnic classification, which would make it difficult for these schools to continue the legal justification for their practice.
In the Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, (2007) case, Chief Justice Roberts summed it as follows:
“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”
Can we call this Black Privilege?
what if the student is half black and half whatever?
Sounds like a political “racket,” doesn’t it? When will people awaken to the idea that we need the best and the brightest to keep us surviving in this veil of tears we call life? I believe our liberal arts colleges are mostly filled with the mediocre now who are easily corrupted and brain washed and I think that is what leftist academicians want. In my experience, the truly gifted tend toward the hard sciences..The mediocre go into public services where political correctness is alive and well. And, how about journalism? Do you ever wonder about those SAT/ACT scores? I do notice there are very few Asians in that field.
I’m sure that Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard must have adopted this policy decades ago.
It is illegal, unconstitutional and wrong.
What's a degree worth from a place like that?
That’s raaaaacciistt!!!
