Any middle class parent who has had a son or daughter wend their way through the minefields that are taday’s college application trauma know damned well that the kids discriminated against are those of the college educated and above average incomes.
Tis interesting how today’s wackodemics insist on standing truth on its head. If a students parents make more than a so called median income it’s get lost for financial asistance unless you are from a “protected” ethnic group.
Most interesting is how the disingenuous professor author words feign that she is not aware of those question that far to many colleges and unis slap on applications that require applicants to state the educational levels of their parents.
All we unclever wackodemics know the purpose of the parental education question. It is obvious that wackodemia believes that a student is a privileged group if a parent has a college degree and is less worthy of admission.(For what other reason is the question asked?)
Ms. Goldrick-Rab we the evil middle class understand wackodemia’s doublespeak. That is the offspring of college graduates need not apply to most public tax funded instiitutions unless our kids have far higher SATs and grades than affirmative action privileged groups and that our kids if admitted are not eligible for the no repay grants handed out by government.
Ms.-Goldrick-Rab needs to descend to the ground level from her myopia impaired perch high atop the unreality and insanity that are the ivorty tower dwelling places of America’s academics.
