> If you remove the people born into privilege, from attending your college, all you succeed is in making your college irrelevant, not those people irrelevant.

This is an argument for stricter regulation, not more lenient. It means that schools that give such advantages to the already-privileged should not be able to even exist, nor should businesses that give such advantages in hiring, nor should any entity that gives such advantages. In other words, if this rule didn't succeed at making those people (or rather, their advantages) irrelevant, then we need an even harsher rule.

The last thing we need is to waste more tax money hiring an army of useless bureaucrats to micromanage corporate hiring practices. Inequality and privilege are preferable to that kind of dystopia. I've always found it bizarre how so many "progressives" think it's acceptable to use force to realize their preferred society.

Does that include preventing discrimination based on race, religion, ethnic origin, gender, and age?

All law is the use of force to realize a preferred society.

Conservatives are literally using force to realize their preferred society. What world do you live in?

And it’s ridiculous and should be repudiated, not copied and expanded in a different direction.
