To all those that have to endure DEI training, this is what “equity” really means. It isn’t about propping up people that need it to see over the fence, it’s about lowering the fence so everyone can see. The fence is your standard of living.

It’s just communism wrapped up in a different excuse - everyone will be equally miserable and illiterate. Then the world takes over because they’re not doing this crap.

Back in the early 60s a New York Board of Regents certification was valuable.

“Dems don’t want blacks and Hispanics to feel bad that they’re stupid.......”

The Democrat Liberal E, DLE’s, elites have programmed these losers to know, who enables them to get a paycheck after their worthless years in public schools!

The losers in school, after school, just need to vote as their TV mediots tell them how to vote.

Also, when and where to protest on cue.

Now, all life’s losers have to do is show up to catch a bus, get a free meal, ride to the protest, be given a preprinted protest sign, Then, to go protest as ordered.

It sounds racist to me to lower the scores to keep the minorities from looking stupid, dumb and ignorant.

I have had white, Asian, and black physcians treat me and of both sexes. I had no qualms about this as they went to medical school prior to lowering standards of admission. They were good.

Today I do not want a new graduate minority treating me, Asians excepted. These new docs may be very good or subpar. I would not know.

ps
I am not a racist but a realist. I am white my wife is Mexican. She feels the same way.

The typical RAT response to outcomes that are not wanted — change the level to reflect the desired outcome!

As they did for the covid shot. It is not a vaccine by past definitions of a vaccine. So the FDA simply changed the definition of a vaccine and Voila, the covid shot is now a vaccine with the manufactures (Pfizer, Moderna, Astra) now having no liability from covid shot injuries.

This has been a never ending cycle.


If anyone doubts the long-term dumbing down of expectations in American public schools, download a copy of McGuffey’s Sixth Eclectic Reader—a book aimed at teaching 6th graders in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Maybe someday high school grads in New York State will at least be required to be able to read their diplomas.

Democrats once forbid slaves from knowing how to read and write. And they also forbid others from trying to teach slaves how to read and write.

Then slavery was abolished. Couldnt forbid blacks from learning to read and write. So the next step for democrats was to forbid blacks from attending schools with white kids. Black only schools were created, but they got the short end of the stick when it came to funds and supplies (such as old, torn up textbooks left over from white schools).

Then segregation was outlawed on a federal level and blacks could attend schools alongside white kids. And democrats just can’t have black kids educated, so they turned a blind eye to underperforming black students. Couldn’t or wouldnt pass tests? Chronic absenteeism? Can’t read and write? Pass and graduate them anyways.

Democrats just don’t want black people to be educated. It’s in their history. It remains in their DNA today.

So what’s 5+5 Johnny? Er 55?

That’s right Johnny. You’re so good.

How about 3+7? Ah 37?

That’s right again Johnny. You’re so smart...

Okay, let’s try something a little different.

I just bought something worth $12 dollars from you?
How much change should I if I gave you $20.00?

Ahhhh, $32.00?

Oh Johnny, I don’t even know why you’re taking this class.
You’ve got this stuff down.

High five buddy!
