Why are colleges so committed to racial diversity for college admissions but have no racial quotas for their sports teams? Could it be that a person needs certain physical abilities to perform well in the athletic arena? Following the same logic, it would only make sense that a person needs certain mental abilities to perform well in a classroom.

I’m glad to see that the Trump administration is enacting policies that will make college admissions race neutral. Now, we can Make America Great Again.
