Remedial Physics??? then they're prolly gonna need remedial arithmetic too... and that's another couple years added to the process

Stanford University is pushing a separate physics course for minorities in hopes that it will result in more diversity among physics majors.
A 2016 survey revealed Stanford’s physics department to be one of the “least diverse” departments within the institution, and the university has since embarked on a mission to resolve that supposed concern, according to a university news release.
“Creation of special curricula and support services for ethnic minority groups and women...textbook examples of unequal treatment” Tweet This One step Stanford has taken is promoting a modified version of the standard Mechanics course, a requirement for physics majors, boasting “added support.”

Stanford’s alternate version of this course, Physics 41E, boasts additional class time, as well as “learning assistants,” individuals with a “passion” for “education equity,” who are paid by the university to guide students through the difficult course.
The university says this modified course helps to increase diversity in the field because “students from underrepresented groups often don’t have the same level of preparation from high school as their majority peers.”

Yeah THEY’RE gonna get hired :)
We just keep circling the bowl...
Won’t be long now.
More bridges will fall.
Buildings will collapse.
Dams will burst.
But at least we will have celebrated diversity.
Please open to the chapter on holes of color.
I was thinking of “Physics for ...”
Never mind.
Dont want to get banned.
The notion that is you just teach people better or spend more time in the lab any idiot can learn physics is rather amusing.
Maybe we can get dogs and cats to write articles for the New York Times if we just give them better nutrition and a little more love....
Seems racist to say blacks and hispanics are stupid and cannot learn physics like whites and asians can.
Like the pedestrian overpass in Florida recently? The dead can rest easy knowing that diversity was served. Ugh...
P-bonics.
Didn’t we get told that “Separate But Equal” was immoral, wrong and illegal?
Yolanda from the ‘hood will now be maintaining nuclear weapons. And will be a nuke officer on a Trident boat.
Even though she has only an 89 IQ, she graduated with honors the Stanford Physics curriculum.
Because it’s the right thing to do. /s
LOL, me too.
George Wallace is looking up on this with a smile.
I would find it insulting to be tracked into a course for minorities...isn’t that a way of saying you’re dumb and can’t learn as well as whites and Asians?
According to the laws of physics, two of the four basic fundamental interactions in its theology are the weak interaction, and the strong interaction. Maybe they are trying to cover two birds at the same time with a math and civics class combined? And it’s probably taught in a basic language, also.

I thought that was bad?

Segregation Today
Segregation Tomorrow
Segregation Forever
But I thought minorities were just as capable as white kids?
That’s what Pedo Joe told us
Where
E is no longer to mc2???
No problem.
