Used to be that when we on the Right said Liberalism is a mental disease, it was assumed to be an insult.
But the proof just keeps on rolling in.

“under the old grading system, teachers fail minority students more than White students”
2. Obviously, white folks are responsible when minority students fall short when compared to white and Asian students in these areas:
The number of days absent from school
The number of hours spent watching TV
The number of pages read for homework
Quantity and quality of reading material in the home
The presence of two parents in the home.
3. There can be no fairer grading system than this:
A vote for Biden should do the trick.

“This is part of our honest reckoning as a school district,” says SDUSD Vice President Richard Barrera. “If we’re actually going to be an anti-racist school district, we have to confront practices like this that have gone on for years and years.”
According to data presented by the district, under the old grading system, teachers fail minority students more than White students – a lot more.
During the first semester of last year, 30% of all D or F grades were given to English learners. One in four, 25%, of failing marks went to students with disabilities.
By ethnicity, 23% went to Native Americans. Another 23% of failing grades went to Hispanics. And 20% of D or F grades went to Black students.
By comparison, just 7% of failing marks went to White students.
In an effort to change that racial imbalance, the school board voted unanimously this week to make several big changes to its grading system.
Academic grades will now focus on mastery of the material, not a yearly average, which board members say penalizes students who get a slow start, or who struggle at points throughout the year."
