There’s a bit of controversy surrounding student elections at a San Francisco middle school after the results were immediately withheld by the principal because they weren’t diverse enough.

The incident happened at Everett Middle School in San Francisco’s Mission District. The voting was held Oct. 10, but the principal sent an email to parents on Oct. 14 saying the results would not be released because the candidates that were elected as a whole do not represents the diversity that exists at the school.

According to Principal Lena Van Haren, Everett Middle School has a diverse student body. She said 80 percent of students are students of color and 20 percent are white, but the election results did not represent the entire study body.

If anyone here doubts my ongoing hypothesis that Egalitarian/Collectivism is primarily driven by compulsion, not reason, let them look at examples such as this.

There are issues where one can make an argument for more than one side. But there is no way that anyone can rationally support this sort of idiocy--no way. It is a war on reality; a war being waged by neurotics, who simply cannot accept the reality of biological & cerebral differences.

Reality Is Not A Grievance.

I always felt that way — that essentially liberals were angry at truth.
