The argument in the top of this thread was that people who are sensitive to certain things should be filtered out of the admissions process based on that. I don't see how that isn't institutional discrimination.
What if it included writing an essay on "why bullying nerds are good for them" and people who've been bullied couldn't do very well on that assignment, because they obviously took offence, is that not discrimination?

Then they're not very good learners. Learning to see both sides of an argument is part of what education is about.
The debate team doesn't get to choose which side they argue. It's assigned randomly. More people should do that because it actually increases empathy.
