We don’t know the student’s name, but we do know that he hit a nerve — in fact, he hit a whole bunch of them. Identified only as a boy of Asian descent at C.K. McClatchy High School in California, the teen’s recent science-fair project, “Race and IQ,” propounded the thesis that differences in groups’ average intelligence influence their academic performance. He couldn’t win, though, because his project was removed after parents, staff and other students became “upset” and one girl said she felt “unsafe and uneasy.” The irony?
A project on evolution would no doubt have been well received — even though an assumption of racial differences is implicit in evolutionary theory.
In fact, The Sacramento Bee, which hasn’t yet evolved out of the progressive primordial soup, mentioned that the student’s thesis is associated with eugenics (which the Bee casts negatively), the science of improving the human race via selective breeding. The paper is likely unaware, however, that the term “eugenics” itself was coined by Sir Francis Galton — a cousin of famed evolutionist Charles Darwin — and that Galton made clear that in his eugenicist endeavors, he was merely building on his cousin’s work.
Philosopher G.K. Chesterton once noted that if people “were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal.” This is easy to understand: What are the chances that different groups could have “evolved” isolated from one another for eons — subject to different environments, stresses, procreation-influencing cultural imperatives and adaptive realities — and ended up identical in every worldly measure? Why, even if the peoples evolved isolated in identical environments, the separation alone would make the prospects of winding up completely “equal” a virtual statistical impossibility.
Whatever you believe about evolution, it’s clear that equality is not a thing of this world.

HERE IS AN OBSERVATION THAT CANNOT BE DENIED:
In IQ Tests, Ashkenazi Jews score the highest of all, at 115 (the world average is currently about 88); this may explain why Jews are only 0.2 percent of the world’s population but were 22 percent of the 20th century’s Nobel Prize winners.
Hong Kong and Singapore lead the country list with average IQs of 108, while many nations register far, far lower.
Note that while good scientists may debate why these differences exist and how meaningful they are, that they exist is not in dispute.
But then, Tay-Sachs disease is most common among Ashkenazi Jews, while sickle cell anemia is almost exclusive to people of Middle Eastern, Indian, Mediterranean and African heritage.
Relative to American whites, American blacks generally have longer limbs, more sweat glands (and thus dissipate heat better), narrower pelvises and greater bone density; and black men have higher free testosterone levels than white men do. Not that it’s the focus of IQ studies, but all these characteristics bring advantages and disadvantages.
If you want to blame someone or something, blame nature, not the one making the observation.
The Left hates science.
There are several facts that are taboo. If you say them, an unreasonable, insane, hysterical storm erupts with your destruction as its goal. Saying them is the worst thing anyone can do. Murdering is more tolerated. You could slice a neck in broad daylight and the outrage would be much less.
These facts are true. There is no doubt about them. Test after test has shown that there is a big disparity in outcomes according to race. It’s time to pay attention to what the tests are showing and stop pretending that everyone in all races is exactly equivalent.
The truth hurts apparently.
Data is data. Rejecting this data is like trying to prove the law of gravity doesn’t exist.
There are also studies regarding Impulse control and violence in the AA community.
True science is not a friend of today’s public schools.
Faux science, of course, is.

Funny the real settled science is unsettling. While the made up stuff is treated biblically by the enviroweenies.
Affirmative action has had serious negative consequences. It sends the message that there are those who can't meet high enough expectations to be truly qualified. It's interesting to note that minorities who have succeeded on their own merit, for instance the three gals portrayed in Hidden Figures, get so little recognition. One can't help but suspect that those who pull the strings would rather keep blacks on the plantation by demanding special favors, being told they can't succeed on their own merit.
End of rant.
The Bell Curve is a great read.
I don’t believe racism is the reason most star basketball players are black, and I don’t think racism is the reason most star mathematicians are Jewish.
I’m neither, BTW.
Rejecting this data is like trying to prove the law of gravity doesn’t exist.

Schiff left it out of his memo. It does not exist.
I had ZERO idea until one day on Liberty Post (remember that board?) a poster there posted a breakdown. I thought it was pretty fascinating and looked into it a little.
Which might be related to the testosterone level differences mentioned in #3.
This High School is about 4 miles from my house. It’s one of those “high end” inner city high schools.
They pretend everybody is smart. And nobody is stupid.
Whereas 95% of the students have an IQ below 100, and at least 50% are below 75.
The “racist” in question is Japanese with a 135 IQ. It takes about a 120 IQ to gain entry to this special program. It’s chock full of white kids and Asians, making up over 80%. The blacks and Hispanics are widely believed to be “affirmed” into the program, though I have no doubt some are deserving.
The reaction in Sacramento has been apoplectic. Some SJW’s are insisting the “racist” be exposed, with his picture in the paper. And on the nightly news. He “must be made an example”. Others want the entire program disbanded, and all like it.
Worse, some, those likely to prevail, want to do whatever is needed to “equalize the opportunity” and have gifted programs “that reflect the community”.
They really want to put dumb-assed kids with a 75 IQ into a college prep/gifted program. And ruin it for everyone.
