Tomorrow, The Bee will have the same story, but better.
When I was a kid, we didn’t “distribute wealth”. People had to work for it.
Welcome to Free Republic!
They should start by interrogating James and Cathleen on how they got their money! ;)
Gee, kind of hearing about someone like Hitler or Stalin or Xi donating money to study ways to increase tolerance and diversity of races and political opinions.
Seems like you could get the same results on this study...if you spent $5-million or $5.00.
I am confused.
A “university” with billions in their funding store really needs an additional five million to study “inequality”? They never thought of doing it on their own. Uh-huh.
No wonder the “ivy league” is rapidly becoming “moldy league”. I will still give credit to their STEM departments, but the rest? Not worth ****.
the final report:
Cheap bastards only gave us 5 million.
Well, great. Sounds like they solved 'wealth inequality' for a couple of foundation recipients.
Harvard’s Endowment value is $53.2 BILLION DOLLARS. This money is just graft in somebody’s pocket to come up with a pre-ordained, pre-determined result the ‘sponsors’ can attach to the Harvard name and steal untold billions from the taxpayers of this country.
Harvard is loaded with money. Why aren’t they giving it away? Such BS!
I got wealthy from 50 years of hard work.
“Foundation gives Harvard $5 million to study ‘wealth inequality’...”
Some “wealthy person” at the foundation provided a bunch of money????
Hmmmm...??
What’s to study? I thought the answer was obvious! Take Whitey’s money, and then move him to the recycle bin. Give his money to the people who blame him for their failures. That’ll cure the problem! (< / s>)
They had the lowest rate of turning in homework and projects, and often the lowest scores on tests. They also paid far more attention to their cell phones than to any lesson. I often remarked it was too bad I wasn't giving tests on how to surf the internet or watch movies on cell phones instead of how nerve cells transmitted impulses or why a complex food chain was more stable than a simple one.
The black students were also the first ones in a new academic year to act out, year after year. It was quite predictable. At parent-teacher night, either they had no one show up, or it was their grandmother, aunt, or even a sibling. It was very obvious, witnessing how they harassed and ridiculed anyone who was academically serious and tried to excel, calling them an Uncle Tom, an oreo, etc. that they had an established anti-academic subculture. Unfortunately, only a few students successfully resisted and went on to excel.
The professional agitator and grifter Al Sharpton and his like gave them a blanket excuse for poor performances on tests: it be "racist". They didn't fail tests because they were out partying or getting high instead of studying for them. No, they failed because the tests were "racist". I never knew that naming the four chambers of the heart, explaining why bones are not made of solid material, or discussing the differences between plant and animal cells was racist.
There was also a serious problem with girls becoming pregnant and thus pretty much sealing their fate to a life of poverty, with very few exceptions.
Have I covered all the reasons for black poverty, fellow educators?
The reality of what was done here is so absurd and devoid of making sense I can’t even figure out how to fully describe it.
$5 million that could have been donated to a job training program or something else worthwhile to help people earn a living was instead given for a “study” of wealth inequality.
Why not call it the study of “lazy bones vs. go getters”
Asians come here and end up owning businesses. Go getters. Many illegals actually want to work. We legal immigration, but still, many if not most want to work.
Then there’s the ones who are here, addicted to welfare, drugs, sex, and what ever else who don’t want to work...”Lazy bones”....
Call it what it really is fools.......
I have a science PhD from the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
I know that the Harvard Kennedy School is not one of the best schools at Harvard. So this bogus program on “inequality” is par for the course at the Kennedy School.
So many things wrong with that..
