Oooo. So Orwellian. [/quote]

Eek. I don’t think you understand what “Orwellian” means.[/quote]

That poster perfectly grasps what Orwellian means. Their grasp is Double Plus Good as you might say.[/quote]

Why are only some people brilliant? Isn't everyone brilliant, if you really think about it?[/quote]

No one is equally brilliant, though we can all potentially be brilliant in different ways.  All humans are born with different gifts that should be explored and enhanced, imo, but we need a government that is willing to do that for them.  Problem is, the kids who are born with the potential to be really good at certain academic subjects...DCPS not care so much.  [/quote]

You know what else is crazy? Why do the people on high school basketball teams have to be good?

Why can't the kids who are completely terrible be on the team too? All humans are born with different gifts that should be explored and that means the kids who are short, fat and totally uncoordinated should be given the same chance to start for the high school basketball team as the kids are who quote unquote good at basketball.

I mean. who is even to say who is good at basketball? Isn't that in the eye of the beholder? Why isn't the short, fat kid better at basketball than, say, Michael Jordan? Who, really, is to judge? [/quote]

Varsity for All![/quote]
