While some of it certainly is silly, I think it does speak to the issue that anything that happens before you are born is essentially ancient history. The Presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson ended 7 months before my birth, but I can't say I know it much better than the presidency of FDR or even Abraham Lincoln. I would…

All they can afford is for the kids to watch while the teacher rubs one out while viewing porn on his 2004 Dell laptop.

Of course it's classist. This is meant for the faculty of Beloit College, a relatively-prestigious liberal arts school. You don't get admitted unless they believe that, now or in the future, you will be able to give generously to the endowment fund. They probably don't explicitly take ability to pay into admissions…
