The implication is that he reason for this achievement gap that seems to be immune to educational intervention to the point where racial preferences and eliminating testing becomes commonplace is because of these reasons. I think it's much more complex than that but eliminating testing and calling math racist is probably not the answer. |
The far left feels itself losing influence and they are pulling out all the stops. They would rather have a far left minority (for the time being) than a middle left majority. A far left minority might gain power if the right shoots itself in the foot, but a middle left majority would be too intent on having majority support to do the things that the far left want them to do. They don't really see much difference between Bill Clinton and Mitt Romney. |
+1000 I am just left of center all my life - a moderate Democrat. After seeing the extremes to what the left has went, I am happy that Trump is in power. Not that I like him one bit and I 100% think he is unfit to be president, but as a just punishment for the woke excess of the last 4 years. They really really deserved it. |
The process has mostly favored the wealthy feeders. |
Oh, I know those far lefties like that Reagan guy who gave amnesty to immigrants, or Nixon who founded the EPA. Things have gone so far to the right that we call moderates radical lefties. |
Anyone who is happy that Trump is in power is a POS, whatever the reported “political affiliation”. |
Wealthy people tend to be smarter. That’s why they are wealthy. |
It still does. It just ever so slightly favors them a little less. RWNJs don’t want any poors at TJ. They prefer <1% FRM. |
The Dems are alienating everyone except black women and and white women. They are alienating all men and Asian sand Hispanic women. “Collateral damage”? GMAFB. Asian students are still admitted at a higher rate than almost everyone else. Asian students still make up the majority of students. There are more Asian students enrolled at TJ than almost everyone else year in history (aside from 2019 & 2020). They added seats to bring in some kids from across the area. Most kids still come from the wealthy feeders. Asian students are fine. There just happens to be some who aren’t as rich as before. |
It isn’t the wealthy feeder schools that are favored, it is the students at those schools that have higher level of STEM achievement and also higher levels of interest/applications to TJ. Some schools don’t even have enough students to fill the 1.5% quota. |

If they aren't collateral damage then they are the intended targets. |
