That was my point, no doubt inadequately expressed.
The general liberal POV is that conservative desire to use merit is simply a way of keeping “those people” out of the schools.
But conservatives haven’t, to my knowledge, objected to white students being displaced by Asian students. Remarkably, it’s the liberals who are objecting to whites being displaced by a minority group!
Note: I don’t think it’s at all remarkable. But it would create major cognitive dissonance for liberals if they were able to comprehend it.
I hear you...it is funny how that works.
