“. Private schools’ obsessions about race (Exeter, for instance, setting a 50% “people of color” target for admissions before reviewing a simple applicant,) will also have an effect on academia at all levels. In many cases this because the white kids admitted will already be legacies, who traditionally underperform others. “
This is the same tactics as the Ivy League.
In both cases I see it as the Elite trying to help their offspring by reducing the competition.
The Ivy League is THE gatekeeper to Regime institutions. If you get rid of the scholastic merit applicants, and replace them with intellectually deficient minorities, you reduce the competition for the legacies for position in Regime institutions.
Good for McCAllie to raise their standards. But they are going to find that their kids are excluded from the Ivy League - and thus the Regime leadership pipeline.
Not all Ivy kids are left wingers. I’m on the right and went to Yale. William F. Buckley and many other prominent conservatives were forged somewhat in these leftist cauldrons.
McCallie is, in fact, now and has for some time been feeding the “best” colleges... They are on the map now of the top prep schools, in part, because nobody can ignore the performance of their students. It is a brilliant strategy: “shoot for the stars academically and don’t be racist.”
