<p>You didn’t read carefully.
First, my objection to the situation at Berkeley has NOTHING whatever to do with my own sons, both of whom happily chose small, private schools in CA. Neither one of them had any interest in applying to Cal, so they did not. The younger one applied to one UC, and was accepted, but chose another school instead. So, your inference that my kids didn’t have “a more interesting story to tell” is rather ignorant.</p>
<p>And your “filthy immigrant” comment…WTH? No where in my posts did I EVER say anything like that, or imply anything close to what you infer. Good grief. </p>
<p>Please read carefully. I believe students whose parents have been paying California state taxes should have priority with CA STATE SCHOOLS over students whose parents have not been paying California state taxes. As to private schools, ivy or otherwise, I don’t have an opinion. They can admit any student they choose as far as I’m concerned, because they are private. </p>
