Latino students were described as “mediocre” and “pretty bad” in an email that was accidentally sent by a professor to students registering for a mock trial class at the University of Maryland.
Mark Graber sent the missive Thursday to students in the class, inadvertently including remarks from Abigail Graber, identified by the Diamondback student newspaper as his daughter and a lawyer who volunteered as an assistant coach for the team. The university then asked the two to resign, which they did, according to an email sent to students.
When asked to comment Friday evening, Mark Graber wrote in an email to The Washington Post: “Regrets, other than to note responsibility is entirely mine.” He declined an interview request because he considered “the incident closed.”
In the email to students, Abigail Graber wrote that she had a question about diversity. While lamenting that they had “almost no Latino students on team,” she proceeded to say that the Latino students were not very qualified for the class.
“If I were to rank purely on performance, I would probably only take 1 of them. Should I take 2? All three? None have mock trial experience,” Abigail Graber wrote. “The mediocre one is extremely involved in community activism/organizing (she’s the one I would probably take no matter what, what she lacks in skill she makes up in confidence, although she may be too busy for this commitment).”

Let’s keep those quotas going.

Competence and skill no longer seem to matter. Diversity and political correctness are the only “standards” that apply.
... The mediocre one is extremely involved in community activism/organizing ...
A parasite Soros useful idiot. Not useful in a mock debate as one has to think independently on their feet.

Students are tired of the stupid holding back classes. Instead of teaching the subject matter, the stupid require teachers to instruct the basics again, and again, and again.
People are missing the real point.
These Professors are pro-diversity total liberals.
This is how liberals talk about people. As commodities, as interchangeable parts in a group.
They cuda used her in Huston a week ago!
Lawyers = liars.
Apparently this one lawyer didn’t get the memo. :-(
So, you want me to build my team, you ask me about building that team, and then I get asked to resign because I gave you my opinion on the performance of those I want/need on my team?
Oh LORD, I pray there are NEVER any cameras or audio tapes inside sport team analysis conferences (from little league to professional levels), otherwise, ALL coaches will be FIRED!!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
I wonder how many jobs have been lost to “reply all”?
