美国精英教育之殇: 通道变壁垒,“白头鹰”衰落的源头 极致研习社10/03/2020 我们这套精英教育制度,看似推崇种族多样、性别平等,却还是落入了世袭的俗套。 ——威廉•德雷谢维奇:《优秀的绵羊》 01 穷人的血液 一个清冷的初冬早晨,46岁的杰奎琳站在了费城郊区一家献血中心的门口。这已经不是她第一次来了,一切是如此的轻车熟路。 每当正在服刑的儿子要求再寄一笔钱时,这里都是她唯一的选择。然而,血浆的价格是随机的,第一次是75,第二次就可能是20、30。 很明显,他们知道你处在绝望状态。 杰奎琳说。 事实上,美国几乎是世界上仅有的实施有偿献血的国家,这让他们垄断了全球70%的血浆市场,主要出口中国、日本、德国。 2016年,美国血液制品的出口份额超过了大豆和计算机。 在大多数国家,献血是一种增加公民责任感和社会团结的方式,所以一定是无偿的。而且基于人类的道德基础,很少有国家允许本国血浆出口。 只有世界第一强国,将人民的血液做成了一门生意。 数量惊人的穷人撑起了庞大的血液供应市场。在美国,58%的人储蓄不到1000美元,3700万人处在饥饿中,50万人露宿街头。而他们之中最绝望的那些人,成了血液中心的常客。 除了生活无以为继的穷人,卖血大军中还有一个更引人注目的群体。许多高校附近,你总能轻易找到血液中心的广告: 需要书吗?不用担心,捐赠血浆就搞定! 年轻的血液更值钱。 02 读书“无用”? 在美国,大学生靠献血换钱早已是公开的秘密。例如每周两次来到血液中心的卡丽莎,过去一年挣到了3360美元。这样的“传奇”经历甚至让她成为了网红,在youtube上大方的分享着献血“攻略”: 你只需要喝大量的水,吃更清洁的食物……我绝对会向身无分文的人们推荐卖血。 但是,这份收益并没有像血液中心广告说的那样用来买书,而是被她换成了最新款的包和苹果手机。 你当然可以苛责卡丽莎迷失在了物欲里。但事实上,像她这样的工人阶层的孩子,能坚持考上大学的已是凤毛麟角。 …
