I agree with your observations. My comments were not directed at minorities as such but at the silliness of our current education system. In some schools grades are eliminated or greatly inflated to, supposedly, protect the students self esteem.
The whole system of scoring by ethnic groups and gender is to create class division and set the stage for more money for special programs which never seem to work. It does, however, direct more money to the groups who create the problem in the first place
I couldn’t agree more. By placing each one of us into these little categories, the government only perpetuates the problems it purports to solve. (Little tongue twister there.) The government should drop the little categories. (I refuse to check those little boxes anymore.)
