De Blasio’s school admissions plan would slash enrollment of white kids

Reminds me of Texas’ Top Ten Percent ruling that the top 10% of the high school graduating class got an immediate acceptance into a state university. Initially, their SAT scores didn’t matter but that’s changed to acceptance with a low score.

Elite white schools were outraged because their smart white/Asian kids outside of the Top Ten had to go through the process whereas minority kids coming out of ghetto schools who happened to pass PE got into college without a question.

Ha, uber lib Univ. of TX Austin had a total meltdown - and it was fully their fault for the ruling. The univ. president was nearly in tears claiming they were having to admit so many students they didn’t have enough slots for their one hundred Longhorn football players so they’d have to close down the team. Oh, the horrors!!!!!!!!!!! Despite them being the reason for the legislative bill, the state of TX just couldn’t do without UT football so the legislature gave them a pass and reduced their automatic acceptance to 8%. Of course, the other state colleges, who were never involved with the initial law suit and resulting bill, still have to abide by the original 10%.

Yep, some are more equal than others.

It isn’t just hatred - it is total ENVY. Most people raised in traditional families (of any color) have a proven edge over many of those raised in other arrangements (lack of a father in the home is the #1 indicator of whether someone will be incarcerated in their lifetime, for example), so people with no cultural affinity for traditional families will always fall behind (on average). These policies are an admission by the leadership of the left that they believe there are genetic racial and gender components to the underperformance - how enlightened!
