I truly never thought I would see us sink THIS FAR in my lifetime, but apparently, it is now "racist" to give out lower marks for writing in American universities to minorities who write poorly. And people wonder why I won't go to doctors anymore, and speed up when crossing crumbling bridges.

I would far rather put my life in the hands of someone with an 8th-grade education 100 years ago, than today's average college grad. Wanna see what I mean? See if you could pass this 8th grade graduation test:

Here is the article about college professors being told to "fight white writing supremacy:"
Here is an excerpt from the nut job claiming we should bogusly inflate the grades of poor writers based on effort:
"In another paper, 'A Grade-less Writing Course that Focuses on Labor and Assessing,' Inoue argues that writing teachers should 'calculate course grades by labor completed and dispense almost completely with judgements [sic] of quality when producing course grades'."

Do we really want college graduates chosen for graduate schools in engineering, medicine, accounting, law, or English literature based on inflated college grades given for "effort?" Trust me, if they are going to start giving inflated grades for writing today, they will do it in the sciences and mathematics tomorrow. Can you imagine looking up at a doctor about to remove an organ and being told, "I really don't know what I'm doing here, but, relax, I am going to try real hard."
America's education system is already under attack from RINOs who think that corporations should run our schools, and that local school boards should go, because the technocrats are too wise for local taxpayers to understand or have authority over. Adding in this type of liberal insanity from the other end is a recipe for absolute disaster...if it already isn't too late.
The Idiocracy IS THE GOAL of the technocratic elite. They don't want people who can think and question their authority, just vaxxed/soyed/estrogened up, fluoridated down, dull, unmotivated worker bees for the global economy.
Speak now, or for ever hold your peace!
howdy sir mepartiot! I don't get it. Can't they see they are doing the minorities a disservice by not educating them properly? I didn't know that people were trying to get rid of schoolboards either!
Charter Schools are all about doing away with local control over education. These schools do have something they CALL a "school board," but they are really CHOSEN PARENTS who are chosen to sit on the boards because they share the "corporate values" of those running the school...YET, they still get MANDATORY REAL ESTATE payments from the local's real estate taxes...i.e. "taxation without representation."
what a strange system they have there, are charter schools different as far as rules for each state?
Perhaps a little, but the whole charter school movement is being pushed by billionaires who want to take over the entire public school system to institute workforce training instead of what we would call real education, and to do away with all the liberal arts...all for their profits, of course.
sir mepatriot..they want to train a population to just go along and work in their factories or something like that? I realized I know very little about Charter Schools and how they operate compared to public schools.
Factories, offices, whatever..these people have no need of a truly educated populace. In fact, they view that as a very real threat to their power.
So, per usual, they have designed an alternative (to the public education crisis THEY CREATED) that they are seeking to bring about and to control, that is a win-win for corporatism. They get neutered worker bees, and they get all the profits--both from/of their education, and their life-long labors.
that sounds kinda creepy. what a bunch of evil control freaks!
It's a pretty good system.... if....
You want your kids to not be able to read analog clocks, sign their own name, or think critically. Or if you are conservative, to make your kids despise you... just like the child spy brigades in 1984.
Enter the lost generation
Right on. You sure are wise beyond your years!

Ummm....No. Not with the current LEFTIST state of our "psychiatric/psychological" industry.
LEFTIST professors should be exposed though, and universities and colleges that accept public funds should be forced to have an ideologically diverse faculty, not an ALL LEFTIST ONE, as most do now. In fact, I would go so far as to submit that professors who support and teach Communism should be fired and jailed.
