The dumbing down of America

The San Diego school district has done away with grading because apparently it is racist. California's second largest school district has decided that since minority students cannot make the grade, grades should be dispensed with altogether. 

"This is part of our honest reckoning as a school district," San Diego's schools VP Richard Barerra said. "If we're actually going to be an anti-racist school district, we have to confront practices like this that have gone on for years and years."

  1. Bring back segregation so that the whites and Asians can learn at their level without being dragged down by the blacks, and the blacks can learn at theirs without mean ole whitey ‘scriminatin’ against them by giving them a curriculum and course syllabi that are beyond their level. An added advantage is that the whites and Asians can then learn in peace without the monkeyshines ever present when blacks are in the classrooms.

    1. Why worry about cheating if there are no grades issued?

  3. This.
    Right here.
    This, is whats wrong with this country.
    Just bury your head in the sand and pretend the real world isn't there, isn't real.
    Click your heels three times and wish yourself to whatever fantasy you'd like to live in....

    Where have all the adults gone?

  4. I wonder if they have done away with 'timeouts' for what in the past would racistly be considered 'unruly behavior', like assaults on other students, teachers & administrators, destruction of school property, theft of school property (now considered 'partial reparations'). Just let their conscience be their moral guide. Onward, Comrades, to the glorious future for the children!!!

    1. Yes. I have direct experience with having my chid diciplined for reacting to another student's abusive behavior while the other student was not punished and I was told that that child had difficulties at home.

      My response was I don't care. Standards are standaeds and rules are rules. Then I informed the principal that my child is being given permission to beat the shit out of the next person that touches her.

      Principal said she would be suspended.

      I stated that she would say thank you for the vacation and be taken out for icecream.

  5. Well, guess what? When China invades or who the hell else invades, one side is always the winner when this shit isn't on the table. And before anyone says "buh, what about Vietnam or Afghanistan??", We would have fuckin DESTROYED these places if this kind of thinking was not taking over the country. No more waterboarding or torture because muh feelings. No more winning at anything. Fuck this shit. Christ, a fucking communist was the director of the CIA and a Kenyan was president. But, when they said 2+2=5 sometimes....is anyone really surprised at this bullshit?

    1. Not really - in totalitarian countries, a pleb can't sue for stuff like that. The connected get the good doctors, and the rank-and-filers get headcount reducers.

  7. I can already hear the screams of Waycism, Waycism when the Nobel Laureates being turned out are rejected for any and all employment because their diplomas are now entirely worthless.

    1. Its already happening. Just in the past coupla' weeks I have talked to a home builder, an auto shop, a trucking firm, a home remodeler. Each said the exact same thing; they are so backlogged with work that they don't even promise completion or delivery dates. Each of them decried the lack of qualified employees - that either they close shop, operate at half speed, or lower their standards in order to find employees.

      In the case of the construction contractors, another part of their backlog is due to vendors not being able to deliver on time. Again, because of lack of qualified employees.

      What they're all talking about is an employee who will actually do the work instead of sloughing off on the company's dime. That includes not damaging the equipment because they were goofing around or mouthing off when given duties.

  8. So just give them a diploma and do away with all that costly instruction.

  9. When you apply for a job and the personnel office says to bring in your high school transcript, you gonna get the best job with your participation award diploma. Then companies will have to hire the inept as it would be racist not to.

  10. That's one way to flatten the Bell Curve.

  11. Reason #1,345,870 to home school your kids.
    Neal Boortz always said that the NEA (National Education Assoc.) teachers union was more dangerous to America than was Al-Qaeda and he's right. The commies have taken control of K-16 and beyond and have destroyed two generations with their brainwashing and indoctrination.

  12. Will this impact their federal funding levels? Like dropping it to $0.00?

  13. "Idiocracy" isn't coming. It's here now. The consequences will be the same.
