“Virginia Education secretary Atif Qarni compared students who study with private tutors to athletes who take illegal “performance enhancement drugs.”

Unbelievable.

Another attempt to drag Fairfax further into the cesspool.

Guarantee that school is one that Dorkbama, the Muslim eunuch quota boy (smartest president EVAH) couldn’t even have qualified as a janitor in that high school.

Interesting quote: “I came to America because I believe in the American Dream of hard work and merit,” she said. “Do Americans still believe in the American Dream?”

The left wants to turn the Secretary of Education into the Handicapper General.

Excellence replaces with mediocrity. The liberal way.

Just what is a merit lottery?

Asian families should get together and charge the school board with discrimination.

Affirmative action has always meant a lowering of standards and ignoring individual capabilities. Instead the goal is to showcase “diversity”. This nonsense, while detrimental to any culture, was bearable as long as true merit and talent had clear avenues to succeed despite the absurdities. What is now being witnessed is that the Left sees those unblocked avenues as a threat to their narrative and efforts to solidify power. Any achievment is now attacked as “racist”. Recently De Blasio, the communist mayor of New York, went on a rant denouncing parochial, private and charter schools.

That's not an Education Secretary.

That's somebody trying to cheat at Scrabble.

Gotta wonder what they would think of Harrison Bergeron.

The hard working ones still do. The problem is the lazy retards breed at a high number, and faster rate.
Demographics is destiny.

Do Americans still believe in the American Dream?

That is what we are fighting for. Americans do, anti-Americans don't. The Democrat party has become the anti-American party.

Chairman Xi is smiling, as America continues to self destruct.

I believe it was in NYC that someone said the biggest problem with the schools were (white) parents who encouraged and helped their children to be successful in school, because it put the children of parents who couldn’t be bothered at a disadvantage.

Lowering standards is part of decadence.

As the decadence of Western Civilisation afflicts America more and more thoroughly, all standards lower, including, most notably, moral standards.

Once decadence has afflicted a civilisation, is its fall inevitable?

Donald Trump thinks not.

President Trump is convinced that, if there is a point of no return, the USA has not reached it yet, that the decay of America can be reversed and the USA sent soaring again into ascendency.

So convinced was he that he risked everything--a considerable amount in his case--to rescue his beloved USA from destruction and decay.

Pray that he's right. Pray that he succeeds.

If he does, he will have been the Greatest President in US History,

And in his words: "The best is yet to come."
