NY ends literacy test for teachers to promote diversity. Will doctors be next?

New York state ends literacy test for prospective teachers because too many blacks and Hispanics failed. I wonder if they will extend this to other areas.

The New York Times recently reported:

The Board of Regents on Monday eliminated a requirement that aspiring teachers in New York State pass a literacy test to become certified after the test proved controversial because black and Hispanic candidates passed it at significantly lower rates than white candidates.

And there you have it.

The radical left thinks that racial diversity is more important than competence.

I wonder if they will be extending this kind of insanity to other professions, such as to medical doctors who perform surgery to save people’s lives, or to engineers who design bridges that are safe and which are able support the weight of all the cars, trucks, and buses that drive across them, or to auto mechanics who fix the brakes on people’s cars so they don’t crash and die.

The New York Times once reported:

The rate of AIDS among black women is 27 times the rate among white women.

Based on the same logic, the test which detects HIV antibodies in the bloodstream is also racist, and therefore, should also be eliminated.

Oh, never mind. That’s federal.

The State Board of Regents actually provided beneficial leadership 50 years ago. Now they are spparently hacks.

As always in this progressive world, the ends justify the means.

We're all for diversity here on Freerepublic.

We even have bloggers here with tasteless, obscene screen names who boast about helping Hillary in the election by voting for third party morons -

"So once again, here’s another reason why I’m glad I voted for Gary Johnson in the 2016 Presidential election."

(If you think you're ever going to live that statement down, guess again.)

And one other thing...

You had to make a blog post about this?

You couldn’t post your three sentences of comment on one of these threads (all of which deal with this same topic)?

By the way Gooch, the third and sixth thread on that list were both posted BY YOU.

But I guess you couldn’t miss the chance to brazenly make another blog post out of thoroughly re-hashed news, could you?

How about pilots? What about eliminating the driving test? Dentists?

Dear Yoe,

You increase the diversity of idiocy, where morons become geniuses, because no one can read Webster’s definition of moron.

Y’all will be right at home with B.L.M., S.J.W’s, legbuts, and all those nice young Bernie supporters, a.k.a. ‘useful idiots’.

Air Traffic Controllers, Food Safety Inspectors, Pharmacists, Infectious Disease Researchers, and Airline Pilots are next.

Sounds like the movie Idiocracy is getting closer to reality all the time.

Any type of affirmative action based on race for doctors would be just that. If Hillarycare had made it in the nineties, we would have had a form of diversity over excellence. In her plan, the government would have restricted which medical school grads could become which type of specialist, restricted by racial quotas.

Of course, in the eyes of the left, "diversity" means only one type of diversity, racial diversity, not diversity of thought or viewpoint .... similar to the word "choice." At least, with the internet, the left no longer controls terminology 100%.

Those occupations went "diverse" a long time ago.
