Seems to me, the public benefits GREATLY from that equation.
Otherwise, Grandpa is going to hold on to his money and the public university will have some shabby old building that needs updating. Sorry, there's not the funding for that.
Liberal media sites--especially aimed at young, liberal women--blast "evil capitalism" and greedy white people while simultaneously pushing ridiculous $80 Tom Ford lipsticks and $500 anti-aging creams made from rose petals grown in Lady Diana's original garden and organic shea butter sourced from politically, empowered women's communes.
The liberal hypocrisy is astounding. Celebrities talk out of both sides of their mouths. Classic example is the young actress screaming "Don't objectify me!" while posing semi-clothed for her instagram.
Clearly you forgot Obama's daughters all go to Ivy leagues.
Actually, it's a perfect example of why college is a joke. These kids didn't earn their way, they paid their way.
And I promise you mommy and daddy paid extra to make sure their kids were graded with extreme leniency .
1. There is only one Ivy League. It is comprised of 8 schools...1 in MA (Harvard), 1 in RI (Brown), 1 in CT (Yale), 1 in PA (University of Pennsylvania), 1 in NH (Dartmouth), 1 in NJ (Princeton), and 2 in NY (Cornell, and Columbia).
2. Obama only has two daughters (unless you know of other daughters that the rest of us don't )....Malia is at Harvard, and Sasha isn't in college yet. Sasha is a Senior at Sidwell Friends (where Malia prepped, Chelsea Clinton prepped, etc.)
This has been happening since the founding of our universities. That's why I see it so funny that people have a problem with affirmative action. Don't seem to understand that these universities have NEVER been fair. J.F.K. was a C student and still got into Harvard and went on to become the POTUS. Of course it only matters when it's none white people who make it in.
