So if a teacher becomes unemployed, do all of the other teachers need to lose their jobs too?

high school administrators in seventeen schools decided not to inform those of their students who had scored high enough on their scholastic aptitude tests to be named National Merit semi-finalists.

Semifinalists? No, these were Commended students, according to other articles, who receive certificates.

The names of Semifinalists are listed on the schools' websites.

I am so very glad I don’t have kids in any school today. I would have to homeschool because it is that or a few teachers would not be teaching anymore an I would b probably be in jail. How do these educators have any right to be involved with kids after this? They should be out on their ears and never be able to teach again.

High achieving Asians undermines CRT’s white supremacy narrative. CRT just provides excuses for why blacks don’t do well by blaming others.

this was a clear violation of the students' civil rights for which Faitfax County may end up paying heavy legal damages

No, the TAXPAYERS of Fairfax County may end up paying heavy legal damages. The worthless bureaucrats who did it will pay nothing.

Thought this quote so compelling that I saved it:

There's a thin veneer of hyper-competent professionals who keep the lights on and the water drinkable. Replace them with the incompetent and the water turns brown and the lights go out.

Wish I could remember where I got it from

Although I think he kind of went off the deep in later years, Vincent Bugliosi’s book on the OJ affair titled, “Outrage,” provided an profound analysis of the legal issues, circumstances and parties involved. In the book he had a brilliant little riff on competence and in reality, how few people truly exhibit it in their professions.

Excerpt from C.S. Lewis "Screwtape Proposes a Toast":

(The scene is in Hell at the annual dinner of the Tempters’ Training College for young devils. The principal, Dr. Slubgob, has just proposed the health of the guests. Screwtape, a very experienced devil, who is the guest of honour, rises to reply:)

"What I want to fix your attention on is the vast, overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence – moral, cultural, social, or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how “democracy” (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient Dictatorships, and by the same methods?"

“IQ is a measure of whiteness.”
Their answer is to destroy the good rather than admit they were wrong in the past.

From the article:

3. America’s clear global lead in research is rapidly ending as other nations, especially China, are vastly increasing research spending relative to that in the United States, where political leaders increasingly forfeit future investment and national greatness for immediate political job security.

Compare again to Screwtape Proposes A Toast:

For “democracy” or the “democratic spirit” (diabolical sense) leads to a nation without great men, a nation mainly of subliterates, full of the cocksureness which flattery breeds on ignorance, and quick to snarl or whimper at the first sign of criticism. And that is what Hell wishes every democratic people to be. For when such a nation meets in conflict a nation where children have been made to work at school, where talent is placed in high posts, and where the ignorant mass are allowed no say at all in public affairs, only one result is possible.

Incompetence, inequality and inadequacy resulted in enslavement by those who were competent, adequate and better

The qualities that allowed enslavement still exist in the enslaved populations

We should have put a stop to all this liberal bs in the school systems long ago. We put up with too much. Now the teachers unions are running things and that has to be killed or there won't be any meaningful education.Unions in govt. and education have to go they don't belong there.

“IQ is a measure of whiteness.”

Again, they admit that Whites are supreme.

Dr. Ben Carson is black, I am white.

I bet his IQ exceeds MY (white) IQ by an embarrassing amount.
