The Chicago Lampoon ^ | 11/24/10 | Chicago Lampoon

Posted on 12/09/2010 3:12:23 PM PST by Chicago Lampoon

WLS radio reported this morning that the Evanston Township High School, in the Obama electoral stronghold of Evanston, IL, was scrapping a number of its honors and advanced placement programs.

The reason, according to ETHS Superintendent, Eric Witherspoon, is that too many whites are qualifying for the program.

...actually, after a second reading, I don’t think it’s satire at all.

Holy cow. I just about a conniption fit. I was frothing at the mouth and everything.

Whew. Satire.

Leftists are only interested in destroying. Their goal is not to lift black students up but to tear whites down. It’s race warfare. They exist for the singular purpose of spreading misery, poverty, death, and despair and feeling good about themselves while doing just that.

I had one leftist NYU grad student write a comment on my Facebook profile which pretty much admitted the true nature of her own leftist agenda:

“the only way for the black man to rise up is to toss the white man down.”

The really scary part is that she is an Asian with an excellent academic record. Insanity reigns...

Today’s satire is sometimes quite literally tomorrow’s real news.

Any relation to the National Lampoon?

Yer satire is too darn close to the truth!

After reading it again, I don't think it's satire at all. I think it's straight news.

Hmm...

The families of those academically talented students need to get the hell out of that city. Let it fester in crime, poverty, hatred, selfishness, and all other manner of leftist moonbat slime. Take the children who still have hope and run.

It’s like a Jew trying to live in Palestine. The stupidest thing one could do is stay!

I think they also did this in Berkeley. Not enough of the right kind of people were in the honors program, or possibly it was the AP program, so they dropped it and used the money for tutoring minorities. The school board meetings got a little testy.

Evanston is considering the boldest step of all: eliminating an elite honors English course that has traditionally been offered to the highest-achieving incoming freshmen — usually white.

Above from the article.

So they are intent on bringing down English, the means by which we communicate; through some kind of quota engineering.

Nice.

The meantime, businesses will tend to hire the best and brightest communicators, and these students are held back from being their best and brightest.

Nice.

Hi, there!

I see you signed up yesterday. Your third post is an excerpted thread, linked back to your very own blog.

That’s a very clever idea! Before you make a habit of it, you might want to read this:

Post #552 is from Jim Robinson, the guy who owns all the marbles in this game. It’s a great little history/policy lesson for n00bies.

Do have a good time, and enjoy your stay.

Did she think that the Asians would somehow be exempt from the tossing?

Why did you excerpt this?

Because it is stolen from the Chicago Tribune and you want blog hits?

We hate blog pimps here at FR.

Hate’m.
