It’s from the best paragraph in the article. It reads, “That is not the only reason this story matters. These schools are called prep schools because they prepare America’s princelings to take their place in what we’re told is our meritocracy. Nothing happens at a top prep school that is not a mirror of what happens at an elite college.”
This paragraph is a delight to read. Everyone should care about these princelings who are being prepared to “take their place” in “what we’re told is our meritocracy.” That’s a hilarious and uber-entitled view of America. The icing on the cake is the idea that woke-ness is invading elite colleges as well. Ooo! 👀
This is a little bit like the bbq-gun picture. It’s so ridiculous that I wonder if it’s a joke?
Wait, does she think that these expensive prep schools DO NOT undermine the claim that America is a meritocracy? Or does she have no idea what meritocracy is? Is it the latter isn't it? How does a meritocracy have princelings? She herself says these top prep schools are a mirror of the elite colleges! That kinda undermines the whole meritocracy thing.
Seriously, why is anyone taking Barri Weiss seriously? That paragraph should be enough to laugh at her.
