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.
