When Black students apply for college they perform abysmally as a class on the SAT. The solution? Race norm their scores, effectively adding hundreds of points when comparing their performance to that of White applicants. Or, if you are a state university like the University of Texas (Austin) finesse the SAT by admitting the top 10 percent of students in terms of grades at every high school in the state.
When Blacks are finished with school, as a class they commit a disproportionate number of crimes and thus are incarcerated in disproportionate numbers. The solution? Lobby for changes in the criminal law, including shorter prison sentences. (Never mind that, as Jim Scanlan pointed out in a letter to the American Statistical Association, modifications that reduce adverse criminal justice outcomes tend to increase, not decrease, racial disparities in outcomes. The point is to let Black lawbreakers off the hook, not to cure “disparate impact.”)
And while you’re at it, try to discredit the police force as racist.

Testing in the United States has been 'dumbed down' for years, literally years. If a group cannot be eligible for whatever the job, college/university, military career, the tests/standards have been lowered to keep 'quotas' on an even keel. It makes no difference that people have not earned the grade to continue on with education in a prideful way, entitlement is the new normal for the beautiful land we live in. The United States has lowered their standards so far that we cannot compete successfully with countries that have very high expectations for their children/young people.
ReplyDeleteWhat this idiot should be looking at is the unemployment line and Bar Association review board. She's a shameless excuse for a lawyer and shouldn't even be practicing anymore much less the State Attorney for Baltimore County. This state really needs to rid itself of corrupt and ineptitude because it makes us look back to the rest of the country.
ReplyDeleteMy quota says Marilyn needs to apply for a job in Chicago. There's a WHOLE lot of work needed to be done there and she'd be out of our hair. Not that I don't enjoy the entertainment factor, but it has become rather old and stale!
ReplyDeleteI'll say it first before it DOES happen - GOOD RIDDANCE!!
So, we legitimize (and essentially encourage) poor performance and criminal behavior. What then? Fewer employed, more social welfare, more fatherless children, more crime, a more politician-vulnerable population, more entitlements, a more overtaxed middle class, and a more divided society.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like somebody's been talking with the President.
