Oh that's just for normal kids. Like half of what a private school does is teach kids to have pride and confidence. The other half is introduce them to a network of wealthy people so they can get a VP job after their dirt easy business degree that also teaches them they're now experts in becoming experts at whatever their team does

Which is why they're so insufferable and why they think they can micromanage someone who's bringing literal decades of experience and learning to a situation.

As to why conservatives go so hard on it? It's their ideology. If they thought the Walmart greeters had any intrinsic worth then they would feel bad about how they treat them. So nobody's special until they've proven themselves and that just happens to coincide with going to private school where they tell the kids they earned their spot because they did an interview and wrote an essay.
