Bill is icon for meritless promotion.

[cnsmom]

End all public athletics programs.

[dsrtsage]

So, white people and asians are supreme in the area of education and achievement then?

[cpt jack 1]

So we still don’t get to “judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin”. Sorry, MLK keep dreaming.

[Major Matt Mason]

[Maris Crane]

Well, he is married to a woman who probably flunked kindergarten. Sad to say.

[Mr. Jeeves]

So why are Republicans silent on this treatment of what is essentially their core support group?

"But...it would make waves! I don't want any trouble, nor to be called racist. They promised not to say anything about my defense contractor kickbacks as long as I didn't bring this up. And that little trip on Epstein's plane - nothing happened, nothing at all...but how would I ever explain it to the wife? No, no - it's better to just let De Blasio play his games. He can't hurt anybody with real connections, anyway."

[frank ballenger]

True. It implies if all are tested by the same standards the whites, Asians and Hispanics will outscore the blacks on average That the liberals can’t accept that means they have to lower the standards to help blacks-—which makes the liberals racists.

Bowlers with handicaps. Or would lose every bowling match.

Online Definition:A bowling handicap is a percentage of the difference between your average and a basis average.. Leagues assign you an average until you establish one or apply your initial average retroactively as soon as you bowl a few games.

W.E.B. Du Bois, George Washington Carver, Frederick Douglas, Martin Luther King, and countless other Americans of African slave descent and high intellectual capacity should be rolling in their graves.

Then again, Democrats have always presumed that such people were and are something less than fully human and, given the opportunity and demands of performance in education, capable of equal achievement with whites. That's why they need all the "help" the Democrats provide. And if they refuse such or dare to escape the benevolence of the plantation a good public whipping has always been and remains the fall back option.

[katana]

Sorry, should read “INcapable”.

[shanover]

God help us if scum like this get unfettered political power. History tells us that only dark times come from the left.

Bill De Blasio: Merit Is Racist, So We Won’t Allow It In NYC Public Schools

Well, since the term "racist" is a mid-20th century neologism with no fixed meaning, that is used by various persons to mean various things, it is certainly possible that "merit" falls at least within the penumbras and emanations of "racist", if not within some of the definitions themselves.

[relee]

No doubt de Blasio selects his chauffeurs, lawyers and doctors the same way, devoid of merit.

[commish]

This right here is the perfect example of the fallacy and ignorance of Liberal thinking and Policy.

They honestly think they are promoting diversity and fairness, when the reality is these types of policy are more racist than the things they are supposed to protect against.

De Blasio just flat out told minorities that they are not smart enough, good enough or talented enough to be promoted, hired or admitted based on merit.

I would suggest School of Darkness by Bella Dodd, which is available online in PDF form.

There’s a reason why humanoid cowpads like Bill Ayers Left making bombs and went into teaching “teachers”....

[Mr. Mohasky]

So they are starting in the school system, once that takes hold they will move it into the business environment. Once that happens and the businesses are not be as great as they can be; the ones who deserve promotions will quit, the non-deservers will run the businesses and economy into the ground, and government will step in to bail them out via socialism.

Elections have consequences. In 2013, 13.7% of eligible NYC voters bothered to show up, and deBlasio won 73% of them. In 2017, the turnout was 18% and he got 66% of that.

Are New Yorkers happy with this guy? It looks to me as an outsider that he is a maniac, and he always has been, and yet he got elected and reelected in a “landslides.” If New Yorkers like him — those who voted as well as those who couldn’t be bothered — then they must have some kind of death wish.

[Richard Axtell]

Think of what all of this will mean a generation from now. The Public Education System is being turned into a Political Indoctrination System, simple as that. This is idiocy, and an awful lot of people in New York have got to see this, but Political Correctness and Identity Politics have stifled common sense. This is the de-education of America.

Education is merit, if removed from the equation all that is left is mediocrity, dysfunction, and failure. De Blasio is an ideologue and a saboteur, he needs to be removed from office now. Trouble is, he could not do this without a whole infrastructure of corrupt like minded socialist officials to put this into effect. This is really bad, folks.

[napscoordinator]

Why bother having minorities go to school? Just release a straight “A” transcript and be done with it.

[Truthoverpower]

As an engineer with couple degrees I can tell you two things

First you can’t force education upon anybody

Second you can’t stop somebody he’s determined from learning even without teachers or any kind of school

There are library’s and the Internet and the ability to learn on ones own now is completely unparalleled in the history of the world
