Consider that for a minute. Consider that everyone has similar or the same experiences. Now what happens if a problem doesn't have a solution in this limited set of experiences? Then we're screwed. Diversity means a larger pool of ideas.

I got a 1556 (out of 1600) on my SAT score. I graduated early and went to a private university with several scholarships. Other than half of 4th grade at a private religious school, I had nothing but public education.
Supposedly private schools are better than public, but the truth is that there are a ton of absolutely fantastic public schools, and a ton of absolutely horrible private schools. And there are good and bad students at both.
BTW, Hillary went to public schools.
