#1 Is there any way at all we can condemn SJWs to lie in the bed they make until they gather enough common sense to admit they're wrong?

#3  The confidence of some students may suffer at the expense of others, especially minorities, it is argued.
Confidence in what? They can work harder or they can decide that advanced education is not in their future... D'Oh. My older sister (Edu. PhD and all that) told me that every remedial math course she taught there was one or two "students" that didn't believe her when she said "Do. Your. Homework."

#4 Why do they assume that minorities will do poorly in Math?

#7 When they discover your brain tumor, do you want the gifted student or the one that was promoted for their 'confidence' to be your physician?

#9 I think we discovered a link - the solar astronomers in NM were using non-SJW math and have been placed on indefinite leave pending successful completion of mandatory education. (do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

#10 Hey Bright Pebbles - re # 5 - Could it be that affirmative action is just the Peter Principle in action?

#11 And if you believe that, I have a walkway in Florida to sell you.
