We could add a whole list to that: I support meritocracy because I want bridge engineers who are good at math, doctors who don't butcher their patients, and college presidents who don't commit plagiarism.

Teachers that teach, not indoctrinate.

Priests that are straight and faithful, not perverted homosexuals.

Until “Critical Thinking” is a required course(s) in school Engineers will design Woke structures that won’t last, Doctors will butcher mentally ill (Trans) patients and Scientists will rewrite definitions to “fit” their agenda.

Yep, DEI and Woke are going to get lots of innocent people killed.

[Rummyfan]

Amen.

Jumbo jet pilot in the air: “Take over. I paid for someone to take my exams and write my papers and I plagiarized half of my other stuff. I can’t really fly.”

Co-pilot: “Neither can I. I got us through takeoff from a youtube video.”

Pilot: “Let’s hope there’s a passenger back there who didn’t eat fish for supper.”

Sure, you may want a good lawyer, but more lawyers means more business for lawyers.

For libs its always “selective” enforcement of whatever they want

In fields where blacks do not excel, they demand quotas and other schemes to inflate black rates of infiltration

In fields where blacks excel, they proudly tout meritocracy

If they were consistent they would demand whites be installed more onto basketball and football teams now, also rap music

[Da Coyote]

We’ll get around to eliminating meritocracy right after it is eliminated from all sports.

Wait until you see the diversity hires for air traffic controllers

"I support meritocracy because I want bridge engineers who are good at math, doctors who don't butcher their patients, and college presidents who don't commit plagiarism."

I would like a President and his administration who are not traitors to the United States.

I would like a Congress that is not filled with traitorous Demonicrats and gutless coward RINOcrats.

How far we have fallen.

Ike, president of Columbia, 1948-1953:

Gay, president of Harvard, 2023-?.

Who opposes hiring individuals highly skilled and proficient in their roles?

My boss died in the Hyatt disaster which happened in KCMO in I think the early 80s. They found out that the bolts that held up the inside bridge were not well designed and the entire bridge fell killing hundreds of people.

[Flaming Conservative]

I don’t know about the article, but I agree with the headline 100%!

[PGalt]

What no DEI?

[eyeamok]

I support meritocracy because I want bridge engineers who are good at math, doctors who don't butcher their patients

Sounds pretty racist nowadays, pack a bag and report to your nearest retraining facility...

[ealgeone]

Meritocracy is rewarded in the area that matters least: sports.

The media has been relatively quiet about the absolute failure of the Spanish state rail company which spent $280M on trains in 2023 that won't fit through their tunnels.

So much for "measure twice, cut once".

[T.B. Yoits]

Who needs a meritocracy? The goal is to get investors, not deliver safe products.
