Abstract	John White defends the UK private school system from the accusation that it allows an unfair form of 'queue jumping' in university admissions. He offers two responses to this accusation, one based on considerations of harm, and one based on meritocratic distribution of university places. We will argue that neither response succeeds: the queue-jumping argument remains a powerful case against the private school system in the UK. We begin by briefly outlining the queue-jumping argument, before evaluating White's no-harm and meritocracy arguments. [For John White's "Justifying Private Schools," see EJ1120435.] (As Provided).
