You are completely right, and I think everyone in power realizes that. They also realize that they can buy a spot for their kids in a good university, but there is no way in hell their kids would make it to the top any other way. So they have no interest in changing it.
Changing the way universities work in the US would require a freaking revolution. It's not about giving opportunities to those from worse-off backgrounds; it's about taking away opportunities from the rich and tearing down structures of inherited power. So naturally the resistance to doing so is going to be immense, and whoever sets out to do it need to know what they're up against.
Probably why the republicans are so angry about forgiving student loan debts.
All Republicans are the problem, but not everyone with a D by their name is your friend either homie.
Even when Dems control everything we can't get basic shit like this passed.
For sure. There's a lot of talk about forgiving student loans, but there's a reason why they are more quiet about fixing the broken system.
