Sometimes, Tucker Carlson shows a real touch of genius. That was the case with his suggestion for true societal change in America. It’s time, he said, for America’s elite educational institutions (the Ivy Leagues and other high-ranking colleges and universities) to stop promoting generational affluence. They need to jettison their rich student body and, in the future, admit only disadvantaged students.
Tucker opened his proposal by noting that we’re currently experiencing a non-traditional revolution in which the ruling class is attacking and destroying the working and middle classes. Thus, while the French had “liberty, fraternity, equality,” the new revolution, the one that’s against ordinary Americans, is framed as “diversity, equity, inclusion.”
However, after detailing the attacks the elites are leveling against working- and middle-class Americans, Tucker explains that the real failure of diversity, equity, and inclusion is to be found at America’s top colleges and universities. The data show conclusively that these are institutions in which rich people cluster. Further, attending one of these indoctrination centers ensures generational wealth. With an eye toward the academies, Tucker proposes a more traditional revolution, one that sees America’s elites give way to those who are victims of systemic racism and economic inequality.
To achieve this end expeditiously and without bloodshed, Tucker proposes immediately requiring the top 50 colleges and universities to stop admitting their usual cohort of students from rich families and, instead, to admit only economically disadvantaged people. These new admittees don’t even have to be in America legally. They just need to come from the bottom-most echelons, representing people who have suffered from the systemic racism that the elites see everywhere and from the economic inequality that Democrat policies promote.

Yep.
When I said it last evening to my wife during Tucker’s show, she burst out laughing.
It’s a winnah!
Which is why I favor reducing all university athletics to club level. They get most of their revenue from research grants anyway.
Those in power inevitably use it to perpetuate their power unto a monarchy.
At some point the mob must arise and destroy the monarchy.
Rinse, Repeat.
Diversity
Inclusion
Equity
The problem is accreditation and the progressives own the process.
If your institution refuses to teach "approved" courses such as CRT and SJW classes you will not get accreditation.
They just need to come from the bottom-most echelons
Didn’t the already do that they call them football players.
I had that idea more than 20 years ago, wanting to pursue it as a business plan. My wife called it ‘piracy’.
I also had this idea when Research In Motion came out with a 2 way pager with a thumbwheel. You could sell them as a loss leader to cab customers, and they could hail a cab and the cab driver could respond with how long it would take and where he was. Turns out to have been a $25Billion idea. I should never have listened to my wife.
Trump already tried to overcome this with his Trump University program, which was a bit of a failure. Maybe he should give it a second try, now that he’s been president & all that.
