Lowering The Standards In Every Industry In The Name Of Diversity
[WIRE] One of the many remarkable things about activists who want to remake society, and invert every hierarchy that civilization has ever had in the name of "equity," is how aggressive and totally unflinching they are. They don’t ask permission, they just do it. And they do it in such great numbers, in so many different areas, that it’s impossible to even keep track of them. Even if you object to their project, as most people do, there’s no way to keep yourself fully informed about what’s happening, simply because of the scale of the whole operation.

Here’s a recap, which is nowhere near exhaustive. In just the last couple of months, we’ve learned that the LAPD is relaxing its standards for new officers in order to recruit fewer white males.

We’ve heard that the San Francisco school board will lower entrance requirements, and that the Regents Exam in New York will soon be optional for high school graduates. (As the New York Times put it, "The test had once been seen as a hallmark of academic rigor, but high-stakes graduation tests have fallen out of favor nationally.")

We’ve also been informed that the law school admission test, the LSAT, will drop its challenging "logic games" section, supposedly to help blind applicants.

#1 Trending for decades. "Equity" is simply a new term of reference.

#3 Dare anyone to even mention the massive disconnection of black culture from traditional American standards, as a possible consideration as a partial motive for destroying meritocracy in business and government? If your need to dismiss competence in educational achievement as being "acting white", dismissing it as a form of alternative tribal pride, then you need to alter the standards of the prevailing culture to gain access to economic success with lesser skills and motivation.

Certainly, when standards appear to be discriminating, even when applied fairly, they must be lessened in order to avoid facing the cost of being outside traditional American culture and norms!

Doesn't take much imagination.

#5 But then, just wait until all those Third World types that Biden is letting into our country are offered citizenship for a hitch in the Army.
