This makes sense
My Prediction: Rich Renting "Accommodation" Addresses to Boost Kids' Adversity Scores
June 4, 2019, 8:16 am
Combine two recent news stories:
The College Board is going to report an "adversity score" to colleges for each of its test-takers. I believe that the woke intend this to be sort of the inverse of a "privilege" measurement. This will almost certainly be based at lot on the child's address, since self-reported data on "adversity" would be too easy to game
In the recent college admissions scandal, rich parents demonstrated they were willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars not to just game the admissions system, but to outright cheat it.
The obvious hack for this is for parents to buy or lease an empty room somewhere in a high adversity zip code and report this as their child's address. To get away with this, probably will need to have also given this address to the school, which might be hard for public schools but is perfectly possible at a private school. "Ah, Ms. Huffman, what was it like growing up in Watts?" I am sure there are already folks gearing up to sell this service.
Middle class kids in good public schools will likely end up with the worst adversity scores.

Tucker with a good piece on elite college admission scam, it's a caste system and a club.
This is why a guy like Martin Hash is dismissed, he didn't go to an elite college

Stop hiring grads from any school that bases admission on this racist bullshit.

The compulsory Taxachusetts school-prisons sound nice.
6th-Grade Project Claims State Flag Is 'Violent' Against Native Americans; SPLC Awards $10K

6th-Grade Project Claims State Flag Is 'Violent' Against Native Americans; SPLC Awards $10K
On Thursday, the Amherst, Mass., school system announced that it had been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for sixth-grade activism projects. In particular, the SPLC rewarded class projects protesting the state flag for being "violent" to Native Americans, supporting reforestation, and advocating for the Green New Deal.
The $10,000 grant will build on an earlier grant for the previous school year, which enabled Fort River Elementary School to expand "the scope of student work, moving beyond writing and advocacy into a third phase when students worked with Organizers in Residence to organize for change on various issues."
In other words, the school is turning sixth-grade boys and girls into little activists — oh joy!
Students worked on three projects: "Change the imagery on the state flag they considered violent and denigrating to Native Americans; Prevent deforestation in Massachusetts, and increase local planting through the Trillion Tree Initiative; and Support the Green New Deal."

Amherst is ground zero for neoliberalism - it’s where Maddow is from. The people there are fucking nuts...its a blight on the rest of Western MA.

What the left facists don't get is that by eliminating any reference to native Americans - they’re wiping out what is left of their legacy- many tribes names would be forgotten if not for being used in state and school symbols.
Then again, maybe elimination of history is the leftists goal.

They have been trying to get the flag changed for well over a decade. They are roping our children into it now so they are indoctrinated so when they become adults they will vote it out.

I went to school in Worcester, we'd skip over to "zoo mass" Amherst for parties (and more women).
(I think my freshman class at WPI was 400, 4 of them women... Let's just say dating meant going elsewhere).
