Somebody needs to tell them something about real life. At various points in your adult, working life: you might lose one of your children to an illness or accident; your parents are going to die; you will suspect (rightly or wrongly) that your spouse is unfaithful; someone might steal your identity and run up a six-figure debt in your name; your best friend might be killed; the evening news may feature a terrorist attack that will leave you sick to your stomach; etc. And your boss, your customers and the entire world is going to expect you to get over it, go back to work; fly your big jet airliner; drive your tanker truck; weld steel girders sixty stories above the sidewalk; manage investment portfolios for widows and orphans, etc.
If you can't take a fricken exam because the left-stream media lied to you - then you are worthless and you will always be worthless.
I'm sure that the University will capitulate - but the whiny students (black and white) should be failed and expelled. Tough love, ya know?
As long as this means that all businesses are exempt from ever hiring them, because they are clearly not equal to white, asian, and hispanic students who need no special considerations in order to graduate...
There is a vulgar word to describe these people, derived from the very good word pusillanimous.
Viewing a poor grade as merely punishment rather than an actual demonstration of learning or the lack of it has been the reason why black children as a group have fallen behind. Low expectations have led to low-paying jobs or unemployment and idle, resentful young people with entirely too much time on their hands, time that eventually gets filled with destructive behavior. Just handing out good grades like “everybody wins” plastic trophies makes good grades meaningless and another means of qualifying decent, knowledgable people will arise of necessity.
Seems kind of needless in many school districts. Remember the star witness Rachel in the Trayvon Martin trial? Rather obvious she was functionally illiterate yet was apparently to graduate from high school
Just graduate them without attending a single class. What’s the difference?
87% of blacks coming out of public schools in some of our major cities can’t read anyway. Might as well give them a college degree.
Mark everybody : PRESENT (it worked for our EXecutive)
Class validictorian should be chosen by lottery(its fair to everyone)
Then try to get in an advanced law school that really matters ! LMAO !! Then try to get a job ! ROTHLMFAO !!
“Alternative means of accessing knowledge”-—bwhahaha.
This kind of thing has been going on since the 1970s, once affirmative action was imposed on academe and government. Back then, I witnessed a Black medical student at an urban Ivy League school who spent four years smoking pot, having lowlife characters coming and going from his apartment all hours of the day and night, and blasting his stereo into the wee hours of the morning, disturbing other residents in his building, all the while the socalled, “Dean for Minority Students” covered for him and explained to those who complained about how everyone else needed to “understand” the background of the student - in this case from a very privileged and wealthy family. What kept this guy enrolled and being judged by a different set of standards or no standards was his skin color and the protention and complicity of the administration of the medical school.
I also witnessed academic Deans pressuring professors to change the grades of African American students on the grounds that these students needed a different set of standards. The afffirmative students knew that these special deans were there for the express purpose of making sure their transcripts would wind up looking good.
isn’t this kind of crap what brought us our quota boy president fiasco?
