        Fantastic, no more racist college admissions policies! Merit based admissions should be the only criteria for college entrance!

        You know... if we actually went off merit, colleges would look exactly as they do now if not more diverse. Same with workplaces. 🤷🏾‍♀️

        Well there would certainly be more older Americans in the work place and fewer union school teachers and go ernment employees.

        It's weird because the only reason the draft dodger got in college was because of his father and not his merit

        In other words, Trump will end racist color quotas for college admissions and revert back to merit based admissions!

        The color of your skin doesn't get you in college but gives you a chance with good grades... I bet the sports programs won't go by these rules... Maybe now more black and brown athletes go to HBCU's

        Not a surprise. Your average republican gets a hard-on every time they see a confederate flag and Toddler in Chief gets a hard-on every time he gets to try to destroy a legacy of America's First Black President. Here's hope the pushback in November is enough to end the traitors.

        That just shows that the very foundation of USA is very weak if one nazi president can ruin decades of progress, public trust and foreign relations.🤷‍♂️ And if people manage to stop the nazis in november and retake the country, things will need to change... A LOT.

        The Asians are constantly being discriminated against by the admissions policies. Seriously not fair to them.

        Admissions should not include questions about race, ethnicity, etc. Do well in school, work hard, get accepted on your merits. Stop discrimination on all levels.

        Yes, because all schools are equal and the wealth gap created by discrimination has not perpetuated a system where certain races are disproportionately represented. #America

        Then the issue should be more help for people based on income right?. People of all races are negatively effected by discrimination and wealth gaps.

        I tend to agree with you on this. Not all minorities are poor or deserving of admissions help. There are some very poor white children, who somehow rise above their circumstances, and aren't given the same consideration and it's wrong.

        Knowing the admissions system these politicized notions will not impact their decisions regardless. All students should deserve an opportunity, but to point to certain programs that began 2 eliminate discrimination is just another 🐕 whistle 2 certain groups.
