Except this is already how West Point, Annapolis, and Colorado Springs work, and it turns out just fine.No WAY we can have Members or Congress choose who gets in. You think Omar would choose a Jew? Or Maxine Waters a white kid? It’s way too much power for biased Congress critters to choose who gets into Congress.
It's representative of the country as a whole.
But that’s your idea of fairness? Omar chooses Muslims, Waters chooses blacks, and, you assume, Jewish senators would choose Jews?? THAT is how we decide who gets in? By race and ethnicity?
Why not? Frankly, your bitching is that Jews are being passed up to favor blacks... (and I think you are pretending to care about Asians because they don't scare you that much.)
Now, True Story. When I was 18, I attempted to apply for Annapolis. My COngressman considered my application. But because I had a slight overbite, they rejected me because apparently Annapolis wants all their applicants to look like underwear models or something.
So I suspect that Omar will find the best qualified five people in her district, and so will Charles Schumer. Sounds reasonable to me.
As far as legacies, that’s not illegal since race isn’t factored in. But now, thanks to the SCOTUS, when middle-class white, Asian, or Jewish kids will not be rejected to let in blacks with much worse academic credentials DUE TO SKIN COLOR.
Actually, legacies were specifically put in for racist reasons. To keep minorities and Jews out.
The universities will just fine other ways to admit black kids... since no one considers anything this SCOTUS does as being legitimate.
