Althea told me...
trump was a problem child who was sent to military school.
Then he flunked out of Fordham.
Then he went to Wharton where he was less than a mediocre student.

That was my point. Bush and Trump got into school because powerful parents pulled strings.

You are the dumbest person on the forum. You probably did not graduate from high school.

Right wingers on this forum never went to college.
It is amusing reading them whine about admissions since they know nothing about college admission standards.

Clarence Thomas.
Amy Coney Barrett.
Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Were all explicitly pushed up to the SC due to Affirmative action, used appropriately.
Derps do not understand that affirmative action DOES NOT mean people who do not meet the bar of being qualified, get in. What it does mean, that amongst the pool of 'qualified' the one hiring can utilize a goal of diversity as one of many considerations in their choice.
This is a positive and good thing as we were are learning in real time with the example of the Abortion and contraception debate limitations going on in many Red States. Overwhelming it is groups of old white men, ignoring even republican women who were on the anti abortion side of the ledger, but understand women's health care, even outside abortion is being put at risk. These old white men simply have no understanding and do not care to learn, and thus just vote for and push complete bans.
Proof positive why diversity (gender and ethnicity) matters.

Clarence Thomas entire life is a story of the success of Affirmative action. A person who qualified by grades who would not have been notices or chosen without the help of AA.
Yale Law School admission - "As an undergraduate at Holy Cross College, Thomas received a scholarship set aside for racial minorities. He was admitted to Yale Law School in 1971 as part of an aggressive (and successful) affirmative-action program with a clear goal: 10 percent minority enrollment. Yale offered him generous financial aid."
"But for them (affirmative-action laws), God only knows where I (Clarence Thomas) would be today. These laws and their proper application are all that stand between the first 17 years of my life and the second 17 years." Thomas called affirmative action "critical to minorities and women in this society."
On early key Jobs - "It was his race, as Thomas has admitted, that got him two civil-rights posts in the Reagan White House; the jobs came because he opposed the civil-rights movement. So did his boss, President Ronald Reagan, whose opposition dated back to the years of Martin Luther King Jr." President Bush - who, like Reagan, had opposed the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act - later chose Thomas to fill the Supreme Court seat of civil-rights legend Thurgood Marshall, the only other African American to sit on the highest court.

OK - then let's go to a merit based system. No consideration of wealth or race. If you graduated from HS and your SATs were above the minimum for that college, you get in. Fine with me.

Every trumper is a N4T.
If so few can do it, why should every college and university teach only it and nothing else?
Their campuses would be almost empty.
Explain how they would stay in business.
How could they afford to stay in operation.
And what about other skill areas like business administration and management?
Sill idea.

Amazing isn't it?. Everyone knows black failure is their own fault. They are so mentally inferior. There is no giant white conspiracy holding them down.
