The true marxist wants everyone to be “equal.” In the marxist “mind” everyone has the same abilities, so differences in outcome are bad and must be denied, condemned, or explained away.

Perhaps the journalism school graduates are jealous of "A" students?

Of course, the socialism taught in journalism school instructs us that the successful are to be punished and the mediocre are to be praised. We're all entitled to exactly the same results, right?

I couldn’t believe the part in the video where the reporter asked the black boy if having straight A’s makes him smart, and then laughed at him. I thought she was going to accuse him of “trying to act white” any second.

Now readers can understand that achieving high grades is considered ‘acting white’ and is frowned upon by blacks. These black reporters are prime examples of hateful racism. This is the hateful racism that holds black children back.

I wonder if state basketball champions ever got any kind of special treatment for being successful?

Only a showoff with right-wing DNA would get an “A” in a subject knowing it could damage other students’ false self esteem.

In the long run, we will look back and know that McCarthy was right.

Soon “A” students will be classified as bullies!

What incredibly stupid people we have working in the media. I guess it’s becoming the last hideout for the incompetent unachievers.

Look at the olympic tantrums to see these kids in a few years.

These teachers, parents and ‘reporters’ are what is wrong with America/the world today.

I teach. I tell my students at the start of the year that I don’t believe in equality. Equality in education means lowering the bar for mass mediocrity. “In this class we’ll embrace excellence instead of equality.”

get good grades —> reward: pizza, soda, and dance invite
get bad grades —> reward: soda and dance invite
get horrid grades —> reward: nothing

this is infuriating to the left... and echoes the real world effort and achievement model of capitalism

what they want is:

get good grades —> get pizza, soda, dance and a new car
get bad grades. —> get pizza, soda, dance and a new car
get horrid grades —> get pizza, soda, dance and a new car
don’t show up —> get pizza, soda, dance and a new car

everyone gets the prize... paid for by someone else... all while praising the local political type

lesson: there is no benefit to pushing to succeed. do nothing, vote for us, and we’ll steal it from others to give to you

Every day we get closer to the world of “Harrison Bergeron”.

For egalitarians, phase one is to indoctrinate youth to have resentment against achievement and to accept the abandonment of rewarding high achievement. Then, comes phase two, which is the use of government coercion to actively punish high ability and efficiency and to reward inability and mediocrity .

This mindset that everyone deserves a participation trophy just for showing up has crept into our schools as well.

No it came OUT of our schools not crept into it.

The whole "everybody is a winner" was birthed and nurtured in the public schools.

I love how the “reporter” corners the kid by stating, not asking “doesn’t that seem wrong”, and the kid responds “I guess”. Shame on that reporter.

The liberals are spending a lot of taxpayer dollars working to keep the kids stupid. They are expected to be programmed, NOT EDUCATED, in our publik skools.
