then, pray tell, why are virtually no students admitted to ivy league

I hate to tell you, but Ivy League schools are FULL of middle class
families. My father, definitely working class went to Yale, myself and
my son are definitely middle class graduated from Columbia. Since the
60's, Ivy League schools don't discriminate due to income, and the
economic demographics of an Ivy League school represent the economic
demographics of America. Ivy League schools will actually give working
and poor students academic considerations they don't give to middle
class and above students to make sure they do have a balanced class.
Sure there are many wealthy at the schools, but the middle class,
working class and below are the majority of those attending Ivy League
today. Starting 2 years after my son started school, all admitting
freshman whose family income was below $75,000 got a 100% scholarship.

Your understanding of Ivy League schools is a complete as your
understanding of world economics.


This will, by default,
further classify us, average us, and take away the incentives of individual
initiative. In other words, another giant step towards socialism.

I am firmly convinced that Obama is an unannounced socialist, BTW.

well, then...you and he have something in common, because, so are you.
