<p>The problem with this type of argument is that taken to it’s full conclusion, the fact that the admissions standards at these schools blocks access to the overwhelming majority of children of taxpayers in this country, then that lack of access means they should be denied federal funds. You can’t have a selective acceptance institution getting federal funds based on exclusion of ANY citizen. Or, you could just say, well, these institutions aren’t really happening for most of the population and we are still giving them money.</p>
<p>You can’t priveledge one form of exclusion or acceptance over another when it comes to federal funding. The argument won’t work over the long term. Once the government gets involved in making laws about this, they have to make laws about ALL of it.</p>
