[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congratulations, this is probably the most disgusting thing I have read on here. "Just as I no more mix with the janitorial or mail room staff what do my kids gain from having a surge of kids looking for handouts populate their school?"[/quote] Rare bit of truth is what it is. How many parents clamor for the type of diversity at their office that they think is good for the schools? Go ahead and hire some high school drop out or an illiterate athlete to be your new lead PM. How about hiring 130% more people than your section can afford so everybody has to take a pay cut? How about HR giving benefits for the office building next door because they haven’t posted a profit in years and then they have to rescind them for internal new hires. Why should the schools have the diversity when the neighborhoods don’t, the country clubs, the social clubs? Where is the lower SES section of founding farmers? Your husband’s car club? It is all bull shit and I honestly want somebody around to take my maids place for chump change when she quits, gets deported or too old. And I don’t particularly want it to be my offspring. I get it people want a meritocracy but what is the bases of merits? Intelligance? Strength? Generational domination? Wealth? Do we let the underclass chose? I understand why people are bitter that they came in far behind on a fixed race but what I don’t understand is why they think there is some galactic reset button. This isn’t Xbox, your ansestors didn’t make the moves that would pave the way for a better tomorrow, you are now paying for that. And yes it is already written for your kids too save for a few outliers as to give off the impression of social mobility. At least just enough to keep the masses fat, dumb with diabetes. John Hopkins tracked hundreds of Baltimore children for decades, maybe two dozen actually made it out of poverty and that is only the poverty line which is still poor. The part feel goods miss is for every child to get lifted out of poverty most times one takes their place. X number of resources/ Y number of consumers = distribution. All we are really talking about is redistribution of the haves and the have nots. [/quote]
