Trying to get 60% of Americans to graduate from college would be a fool's errand even if the country were 100% white, but as the Hispanic proportion of the population rises, it becomes even more absurd. Charles Murray has estimated that one needs an IQ of about 115 (about 1 standard deviation above average) to really study at the college level ...

You know they are not talking about raising more people to current accademic standards; this will be accomplished by dropping standards as required to graduate the targeted percentage of population.

“You know they are not talking about raising more people to current accademic standards; this will be accomplished by dropping standards as required to graduate the targeted percentage of population. “

Which will then mean you’ll need grad school to get the skills you once learned in high school.
