The people for whom I felt sorry on Blue Books are southpaws. When they write, the ink/pencil smears all over the place.

Learn a trade.
Kids dont know how to write anyway. Perhaps we could just ask about their feelings in a text.
My daughter was at a Penn State alumni group meeting because she entered a paper for a scholarship. Her rival was a special needs girl who had won the previous year. My daughter spent hours crafting her paper. Alas, the award went to the other girl. At the meeting the award was presented and they were supposed to say something about the winning submission. Neither the committee or the special needs girl knew what the paper was about. We left.
They should have the applicants submit the essay in a Blue Books.
They Were Every Student’s Worst Nightmare. Now (because of ChatGPT) Blue Books Are Back.

Spoiler alert: they’re not going to get rid of these essays.
Admission essays, interviews,, SAT scores etc will not matter as long as the admission board is looking for brainwashed leftist students.
You can change all of the procedures, but if the folks running the show are agenda driven leftists, you will only have them admit like minded students from their feeder boarding schools up in the northeast.
It’s been that way for decades.
Malta and Epstein Island’s perverts and “parents”
should NOT rule the American People and its military.
I saw that last night. I think I had a second or two of Blue Book PTSD. I hated those things.
BTTT
What were her “special needs”? More fake “autism”?
I remember blue books. I was taking a final exam once and we had to discuss a topic in blue books. I was on my second blue book and in the middle of a page, in the middle of a paragraph, I wrote, “Sir, are you actually reading this crap.” The Prof called me at 3 AM to let me know he WAS reading my “crap” and said it made his night. BTW, I got an A.
LOL!
My daughter got partial credit on a math exam extra credit question when asked about Newton deriving something related to wine and couldn’t quite figure out the answer so said something about not drinking and deriving.

We’re not that helpless.
If the college is government run, the voters can maker them eliminate the essays.
For private and democrat-run public colleges, the penalties for unlawful discrimination can be doubled, tripled, etc, if an essay is fould to have been the vehicle for the unlawful discrimination.
Sorry for the early morning bad spelling, but the point has been made.
“Chief Justice John Roberts left a loophole. It allows colleges to continue their discriminatory admissions policies if they desire”
The head of the Supreme Clowns of the US continues his inane leadership.
FOR EVERY “FOREIGN” STUDENT SITTING IN A SEAT-—AN AMERICAN STUDENT DOES NOT DO SO
should be based solely on test scores.
Anything else is subject to bias.
We CANNOT end discrimination by discriminating.
