Liberal ‘Feeling’ vs. Knowing

[PoliticalChic]

1.One of the reasons well meaning persons tend toward support of Democrats/Liberals is that most of us want good outcomes for everyone. The problem is allowing ‘visions of sugar plums to dance in their heads.’

Liberals do this: they imagine rosy outcomes, sans the commensurate problems the ‘feeling’ will cause. Socialism paying for everything, not considering the theft from earners to pay for same, or forcing NINJA loans to folks who cannot afford to own homes, or minorities leaping from lack of achievements to the top of their graduating classes in the best universities…..if we just ‘install’ them in same.

My pal, Bushy, posted about the new SAT ‘adversity’ plan to do just that: SAT Turns Racist...Black to Have an “Adversity Score”





Today, an explanation of why that plan is wrong for achievers, for non-achievers, and even for Liberals.



2. Government, especially those on the Left, fail because they do not understand human nature. Pamphleteer Thomas Paine said What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly. This is certainly true where skin color becomes a substitute for study habits.




“At present, thanks to racial preferences, many black high school students know that they don’t need to put in as much scholarly effort as non-“students of color” to be admitted to highly competitive colleges. The adversity score will only reinforce that knowledge. That is not a reality conducive to life achievement.” Grievance Proxies

But.....once allowed into schools they are not prepared for.........



What happens to minority students ‘installed’ in prestigious schools?

As history and experience have proven about Leftist agendas…..failure and misery follow.

A lie since it includes everyone.Why do people that claim to be a child of God lie so much and think it is okay?

There are lots of sites that will teach you when to use capitalization.

You must be a government school grad, huh?

They live in a fantasy world. That is why they are called Snowflakes.

My thread on their detachment from reality explains it quite well, I think.

Now......what is the result of this brilliant plan by Liberals, to replace merit with melanin????

Good for minority students who are pushed into schools where aren't ready to compete????





3. The following, from Atlantic Magazine, is predictive of what we ill see when the new SAT ‘adversity score’ becomes pro forma.

“Affirmative action in university admissions started in the late 1960s as a noble effort to jump-start racial integration and foster equal opportunity…. a regime of racial preferences at almost all selective schools -- preferences so strikingly large and politically unpopular that administrators work hard to conceal them. The largest, most aggressive preferences are usually reserved for upper-middle-class minorities on whom they often inflict significant academic harm,…


The single biggest problem in this system -- a problem documented by a vast and growing array of research -- is the tendency of large preferences to boomerang and harm their intended beneficiaries. Large preferences often place students in environments where they can neither learn nor compete effectively -- even though these same students would thrive had they gone to less competitive but still quite good schools.” The Painful Truth About Affirmative Action



The motivation may be good…..but the outcome is tragic.


That's what happens when feeling passes for knowing.

 

[Moonglow]

Don't worry them rich white kids will still be able to buy a spot at the college of their choice no matter how illiterate they may be..

 

[LordBrownTrout]

SAT admissions officially racist.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Now, about that Liberal 'feeling' that doing away with hard work and responsibility is good for minorities, or for America......




4. Facing facts is hardly a characteristic of Liberals/Progressives. As a result the equality that they hope for is spread evenly….as misery.

“The mismatch effect happens when a school extends to a student such a large admissions preference -- …usually because of the student's race -- that the student finds himself in a class where he has weaker academic preparation than nearly all of his classmates. The student who would flourish at, say, Wake Forest or the University of Richmond, instead finds himself at Duke, where the professors are not teaching at a pace designed for him -- …


…even though blacks are more likely to enter college than are whites with similar backgrounds, they will usually get much lower grades, rank toward the bottom of the class, and far more often drop out. Because of mismatch, racial preference policies often stigmatize minorities, reinforce pernicious stereotypes, and undermine the self-confidence of beneficiaries, rather than creating the diverse racial utopias so often advertised in college campus brochures.”
The Painful Truth About Affirmative Action


Perhaps we should judge the agenda by the results.

And Liberalism.....the same.





5. The next element of Liberal lack of understanding is in how failure will affect that minority student: it will be blamed, exactly where Liberals what in, on racism, on white privilege, on every thing but the truth.

“…assume that you and the friend who joined you at the bottom of that class were both black and everyone else was Asian or white. How would that have felt? Might you have imagined that this could reinforce in the minds of your classmates the stereotype that blacks are weak students?” Ibid.

SAT admissions officially racist.

As is the entire university system.

Has been since you-know-who took it over.


"The radicals of the sixties did not remain within the universities…They realized that the apocalypse never materialized. “…they were dropping off into environmentalism and consumerism and fatalism…I watched many of my old comrades apply to graduate school in universities they had failed to burn down, so they could get advanced degrees and spread the ideas that had been discredited in the streets under an academic cover.”
Collier and Horowitz, “Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About The Sixties,” p. 294-295.

6. Liberals, Progressives, Democrats believe in equality…..don’t they?

Or is this just one more of the lies….





What happens when Liberals/Democrats control admission to universities?

“…contemporary racial preferences used by selective schools -- especially those extended to blacks and Native Americans -- tend to be extremely large, often amounting to the equivalent of hundreds of SAT points.” Op.Cit.




“Asians need SAT scores 140 points higher than whites, 270 points higher than Hispanics, and an incredible 450 points higher than blacks (out of 1,600 points) to get into these schools.

An Asian applicant with an SAT score of 1,500, that is, has the same chance of being accepted as a white student with a 1,360, a Latino with a 1,230, or an African-American with a 1,050.

Among candidates in the highest (1,400–1,600) SAT range, 77 percent of blacks, 48 percent of Hispanics, 40 percent of whites, and only 30 percent of Asians are admitted.”
Fewer Asians Need Apply




"Those who rail against “white privilege” as a determinant of academic achievement have a nagging problem: Asians. Asian students outscore white students on the SAT by 100 points; they outscore blacks by 277 points. It is not Asian families’ economic capital that vaults them to the top of the academic totem pole; it is their emphasis on scholarly effort and self-discipline. Every year in New York City, Asian elementary school students vastly outperform every other racial and ethnic group on the admissions test for the city’s competitive public high schools, even though a disproportionate number of them come from poor immigrant families.
Colleges pay lip service to socioeconomic diversity, but that concept is inevitably a surrogate for race. "
