I finally read that today. I think I saw 1961? It's amazing how, when looking back, one sees so many looking forward but so broadly ignored. Rebuked even.

Advanced programs are necessary to cultivate scientists and mathematicians

Not anymore. Now the thinking is that math is racist and that teachers need to understand ethnomathematics.

Apparently, grading for correct answers and the ability to demonstrate how you arrived at that answer is considered racist.

Feels like we've gone beyond even forced equality and now stupidity is being virtue signaled.

Totally unacceptable and likely to result in an equal and opposite backlash.

@jaymaron

I don't believe they see it as stupidity; they see it as perfect balance. A world where someone who has ability, drive, and ambition now has the same chance at getting a job as someone who has no desire to do anything except smoke weed and play X-Box. Perfect societal equity.

I am really starting to believe that the greatest sin of white people - and Asians are being rapidly thrown into this group - is they try "too hard." That the cultural practice of having a strong work ethic inherently creates an unfair advantage vs "cultures" - and I use that term very loosely - that aren't oriented to work hard.

After all, they've already said that punctuality is a form of white oppression. If you can't even show up at an agreed upon time, what does that say about the "culture" you subscribe to?

I agree that it's about power. In a society that respects merit, merit has power.
Leftists don't want anyone else to have power. They attack all other sources of power.

Meant equity rather than equality in my earlier statements.

Is anybody watching, you could put down black, if your Asian just put down Hispanic. I would think ivy league will check as they are carefully limiting admission. But you never know you might just get let in and get some school money. I suppose tring to game the racial spoils system could work to a point. It worked for Elizabeth Warren.

@MosheBenIssac
Universities factor in your neighborhood and social credit score in admissions.

Praise the lord that we have Turning Point USA to provide a social network for republicans in college.
I agree. Any republican that gets a full tuition scholarship at a leftist university should go, just to be a nuisance. I agree that it's fair game to game the system.
