Minorities that earn good grades in the regular curriculum could be recognized Who wouldn't want to graduate magna cum honkie?

Creation of special curricula and support services for ethnic minority groups and women

WOW!! Official RACISM and BIGOTRY on Display because Minorities and Women are TOO STUPID to do the work. One heck of a Mission Statement for a College.

But I thought minorities were just as capable as white kids?

That’s what Pedo Joe told us

Yeah, we all know, thanks to Joe, that "poor kids are just as smart as white kids;" but are they as smart as Asian kids?

They are more than welcome to take real Physics instead.
Has it ever dawned on anyone that there are statistical IQ differences between races?
I understand that the variance amongst a race is far greater than the variance between races.
Save anecdotal 5 sigma from the examples.

This “Stanford Guideline” for physics should be applied to every subject taught in every grade of a student’s education. Let those who excel move in a fast trajectory, unimpeded by those who can not or just do not want to excel!!

I also thought the courses described were sophomore level courses. Any weakness should have been made up in the first year of the calculus based physics course. At Stanford that should be a rigorous course and fill anything missed in high school.

Next up ‘pilot training for minorities’ in the USAF and USN.

He said we absolutely must get you in today because the Dr. doing surgery is much more skilled than the alternate who is on next week.

My wife recently broke her femur completely through. Her condition was complicated by bone mets that had weakened the upper part of the bone. A local surgeon attempted to repair it in the usual way, with a femoral nailing procedure. Halfway through he gave up and admitted he didn't dare go any farther; he had already damaged part of her hip. We were referred to one of the major teaching hospitals in Philadelphia and my wife was transferred there on a Thursday. When told she might have to wait until Monday for surgery she started to get very upset, until the intern whom she was speaking with said, "You don't want a weekend surgeon doing this!" Fortunately they were able to get her in on Friday, with a top surgeon who had no trouble doing the procedure the local one had given up on. His comment to us was, "We tend to clean up a lot of garbage from the outlying areas."

So, yes, there are vastly different levels of professionalism, depending on the circumstances.

Dr. Lexus: “Plenty of ‘tards out there living kick-ass lives. My first wife’s a ‘tard, now she’s a pilot.”

“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.”

Yepper, that’s how Floreeduh? got where it is re teachers. Now we are flooded with teachers who don’t know the subject they teach to our kids....Dumb,dumber,dumbest...rest assured the unions won’t make ‘results’ a valid item to discuss re raises for teachers.
