[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think for a minute......

You have been in a serious car accident and are raced to the hospital and need immediate surgery. 
Would you prefer your surgeon be someone who graduated top of the class having demonstrated the knowledge and skills to practice medicine or a surgeon who was hired in order to meet a quota for diversity and inclusion and performed mediocre in medical school?

You are boarding a plane to jet off on vacation.  Would you prefer your pilot be someone who graduated from flight school with an exemplary record of achievement and who has demonstrated expertise during the hours in flight training or would you prefer the pilot who was hired as a diversity hire and barely graduated from flight school?

Is it better to strive for merit and achievement or for diversity, equity and inclusion?  [/quote]

of course everyone knows the answer

but is afraid to say it

No you want the guy who got the job because he got into elite schools after his dad donated a lot of money and then he joined the white elite patronage network, joined all the right clubs, and kissed all the right asses. This is the originalist America that the Federalist Society worships. Merit has never even been in the room with privilege in this country. [/quote]

I want the guy, or girl, or whatever, who got the highest test scores, has the best teachers, the most demanding training, and excelled

Don’t give one single s*** what help they had getting in the door [/quote]

Being a good surgeon or pilot or whatever is not just an academic exercise. Test scores are not the only or the best predictor of performance. [/quote]

DP. How about most competent? That's all I want. [/quote]
