My weekly segment mocking hypocrisy and idiocracy. What does Ben have to say??
The Race To The Bottom
Ya know how our society has degenerated into giving out 'participation' trophies for just showing up? Well, now public schools across the country will be giving out trophies (i.e. diplomas) even if you don't bother to show up. No wonder why the Chinese are winning.
Schools in Cook County, Illinois (which encompasses Chicago) will be switching to race-based grading scales.... for equity and justice.
In a recent SAT test the failure rate was 77 percent for black students, 49 percent for Hispanics, 27 percent for Asians and 25 percent for whites. (Please note, the SAT is a national test and is not influenced by the local school board's grading scheme or teacher bias).
To promote equity, students will no longer be docked for missing class, misbehaving, of failing to turn in assignments. Apparently, showing up and doing the work is a social injustice.
The tragedy here is that the overlords are not blaming teachers (or the system) for failing to teach black students (I admit we, as a society, are failing in that regard). Instead they are commanding teachers to hand out worthless diplomas to students who are completely unprepared to compete in the modern world.
I leave you with a thought... if teachers are no longer expected to teach should they still be called teachers?? westcooknews.com/stories/626581140-oprf-to-implement-race-based-grading-system-in-2022-23-school-year
Bees Are Fish
Now we all know that Supreme Court Justices can't determine what a woman is. And we all know that there are at least 87 different gender identities and 8,700 pronoun combos. But those are all human conditions.
But identity politics no longer stops with humans. California courts have now declared that bees can now be legally classified as fish. Yep, insects can now identify as fish.
 | It occurs to me that when you buy solid chunk Bumble Bee Tunna (with two n's... tradeMark) it will actually be delicious compressed bumble bees. Be sure to opt for the wild caught, non-GMO bees packed in synthetic oil. SO Healthy!! And don't believe the pic of a fish on the can... Cuz California has decreed that insects are fish... with all the rights and privileges thereof. |
