"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Read what Robert Kennedy says

“‘Color-blind’ admissions tend to favor those who are already in the circle of privilege. It favors those who grew up in affluent, educated households,” Kennedy added. “Wouldn’t you like to invite in those who have been left out in the cold?”

Does that description fit a white or Asian working class kid?

Or does it fit the beneficiaries of Legacy Admissions, kids of politicians, corporate executives, and celebrities who are not admitted on merit?

Kennedy is trying to divert attention from the real problem by pitching people of different colors against each other.

We need a color blind, merit based system without allowances for legacy and elites.

Then we need to let parents choose the school that will give their child the best chance of success.
