Discrimination & Racism Editorial Review

The book "The Inequality Machine: How College Divides Us" by Paul Tough explores the issues with college admissions, inequality, and the struggle for the American Dream. It presents personal stories and data analysis that highlight the struggles of low-income students, especially those of color, in elite colleges and universities. The book also elaborates on the significant struggles that students face after they enroll. The emotional experience from this book comes from laying out the landscape and teasing out the facts from the myths and misinformation. The book provides insights into why SAT/ACT needs to recede in the admission process, and how poorly elite schools are dealing with increasing the numbers of American Black students. It suggests that this book is a must-read for families with children entering high school to educate themselves on college admission and the statistics behind admissions.
