It continues to amaze me how these "woke" leftists can be so stupid and naive about the long-term consequences of their actions. Their "equity" emphasis creates a victim mentality among blacks and hispanices and thus destroys motivation to achieve; while also destroying incentives for others who currently are working hard to achieve. On top of that, when Lowell high school is forced to admit less qualified kids, the school will be forced to dumb-down their curriculum and also their grading system. So Lowell will no longer be a superior school. She will destroy the school in the name of "equity."

Leftists really do not have a grip on reality. They think that they are morally and intellectually superior to the rest of us and so they feel that they should have all power to create their insane utopian dreams which consistently turn into nightmares.

Meritocracy Is A Racist System

Meaning what? Whites are smarter? That statement is insulting.

[Track9]

I guess we know how they feel about MLK.

[Da Coyote]

If that idiot is on there, it is clear evidence that San Pelosi-shitsco’s Bored of Eddikashun’s Standards don’t include merit of any kind.

Really, what is an illiterate *sshat with no brain whatsoever doing in any position except President of the DimbulbcRAT party?

Meritocracy Is A Racist System

That is true if a person is not worth spit and needs to grievance pimp up some benefits.

My first reaction was “what?!?” because a student’s public school is based on their parents’ address. But thinking it through, moving to a lottery is a good first step towards destroying the public school system as we know it. Move it entirely to a voucher system.

I am in favor of vouchers for many reasons, including the racial (really income level) disparities. Poorer neighborhoods generally have poorer schools. But mostly because the current method is just stupid. Every child has unique talents and unique needs. They should be free to go to one or more schools based on those needs. Why should they be forced into a cookie cutter program that pushes most kids to the lowest common denominator? I could imagine where a kid may attend one school 2 days a week, and another school 3 days a week, to either gain excellence and/or to catch up on areas they need improvement. Why march them around to the sound of bells every 50 minutes, like a prison? Trying to learn 6 subjects 50 minutes at a time each day is not a really good way to learn anything. It’s just good for the teachers.

It’s alright though, because everything’s racist and if you’re reading my comment, you’re a racist too.

As I have said before, I bet this person welcomes the merit system when a medical professional is working on them or a legal professional handling their case or what if the engineer designing the safety of the airplane she is in wasnt there on merit? These people dont think. They want participation trophies. The ones that are smart and want to be better will just go somewhere else and make more money bc people will know their pedigree is based on merit not participation

[cdcdawg]

That’s not really wrong. A meritocracy of any kind will have racially unequal results. A meritocracy only requires neutral rules not even results.

The Congo and Israel are not different because of skin color. Denmark and the CAR are not different because of religion. Detroit of 1950 and Detroit of today are not different because of the Constitution.

[rigelkentaurus]

I’m really confused. From what this person states, merit has no place in academics. That a D student who doesn’t turn in homework and skips class should be allowed into a university displaces a person with better grades, knowledge, and work ethic. And this is because blacks and hispanics, in general, either can not or will not put in the effort and get the necessary results?

So where does she state that merit has no place in high school and college sports? That a poor athlete who doesn’t work hard in practice, skips training should be on high school and college sports teams displacing better athletes. Why should blacks and hispanics (baseball for example), be over represented and asians, specifically, but also whites under represented just because they can not or will not show up to practice sessions and perform the training to get the necessary results?

“Meritocracy Is A Racist System”

That is a racist statement.

[PerConPat]

Well, I'm sure it won't matter in the long run. After all, those shiftless Chinese, Russians, Koreans (N and S), Japanese, Germans etc. let their kids off easy in both education and discipline. We've nothing to worry about; besides, God loves us best. (/s - if necessary)

[mosesdapoet]

Typical atheistic views who don’t believe we are all equal in the eyes of our Creator

[Pining_4_TX]

After decades of effort, minorities are still behind, so the only thing left is to call achievement racist. The only solution is to ask minority students what degree they want, and just hand it to them. Why make everybody waste their time with classes that don’t mean anything?

[lewislynn]

There is NO EVIDENCE of “widespread” racism in America.

[alexander_busek]

Collins’ proposal would instead use a lottery system for admissions.

So, the kids can now just pop in at the local 7-11 and buy a scratch card?

“When we talk about merit, meritocracy and especially meritocracy based on standardized testing. I’m just going to say it, in this day and age we cannot mince words. Those are racist systems,” Collins said.

Handicapper-General Diana Moon Glampers approves this sentiment!
