[quote=Anonymous][quote]These include things like ending AP classes as we know them, to allow more people to get in. It’s essentially watering down academic vigor in favor of a quota system. Then there are things like deeming things that aren’t racist as being racist. “Show your work” is not a racist thing. Conventional math is not racist. It’s either you know it or you don’t. In NY, 2/3rds of the Asian students were FARMS students. Yet, they represent a success story at the school. Ending race neutral entrance exams to a challenging school because that school comprises “too many” Asian or white students just seems counterintuitive and would ensure resentment. The Dems need to be tough and fair with what types of policies they implement or they will lose elections. I am a moderate dem and am getting fed up with being beaten over the head with “white fragility” and guilt based solutions to complex realities.[/quote] Totally agree with this. Dems are going to get slaughtered in the election cycle if they cannot get their heads around the fact that people will vote in according to what they are directly experiencing. People see the above for what it is ---a watering down of standards---and the more that it is couched in obfuscatory and guilt-inducing "equity" euphemisms, the more people will just call BS. Similarly, I don't care how much Charles Allen and Brianne Nadeau bleat about how we need to weaken our law enforcement due to systemic racism when citizens and children are being killed in the cross-fire of feuding gangbangers who should be locked in jail away from the rest of us.
