Yes, this is something I've always supported. If I ran a business in fact despite being private I would still refuse to ever hire anyone with a degree from a private school, just on principle.

Barack Obama?

What principle?

I oppose the very existance of private schools.


On what basis?  Whats the underlying principle here?  I dont see it.

I just don't like private schools. Ever since I was in high school I saw them as sh!tholes for rich snobs with uniforms and retarded rules. I also saw no point in them, the public school was fine. Private schools are an epic waste of time.

I assume you mean private high schools and not private colleges?


Anyhow, yes, this is the type of policy that I would most definitely privately have due to my hatred of the bigoted private schools that dot Mississippi, though if I were hiring people for a company, I'd probably ignore it if a really great, needed applicant came in.  As long as they weren't racist, obviously.

No, I do mean private colleges.

Well at least your basing your prejudices off of lots of data gathered from different sources.  You are truly no better than an antebellum slave owner or a South African police officer circa 1983.  Your mold makers must be so proud!

Private schools also could have thought BRTD to avoid that dreadful comma splice. Wink

BRTD is white with a greyish tint then. I'd say most people are like that.

Well yeah, but we all like to think we're not.  Of course being prejudicial against the perceived rich (clearly not all private school kids are "rich") isn't as bad as owning slaves or being the state "muscle" for aparthied.  But it's still ignorant and wrong.

I went to a private high school. We didn't have uniforms and gave our students far, far, far more freedom than any public school in the area does. We're very normal people.
