It's Better Not to be an American

New research shows (via Jonah Goldberg at The Corner):

Participation in such Red State activities as high school ROTC, 4-H clubs, or the Future Farmers of America was found to reduce very substantially a student's chances of gaining admission to the competitive private colleges in the NSCE database on an all-other-things-considered basis.

I hope working hard on the farm won't diminish Beezlebub's chances if he decides to apply to a swank private school. But never underestimate the radical chic marxism of college administrators.
