Chilling stories from ZooMass.

You’ve nailed the underlying, major, and fatal problem with educational affirmative action. Government regs, social engineering, and liberal guilt can get AA students into an Ivy League (or any college), but it can’t KEEP them there ... unless they’re Teh One, of course.

And of course, the resulting blow to the artificially inflated self-esteem is doubly harsh because they couldn’t cut it in a school they wouldn’t have qualified for in the first place.

(Of course, this does not apply to those students who study, attend class, and take their education seriously.)

And of course, the resulting blow to the artificially inflated self-esteem is doubly harsh because they couldn’t cut it in a school..

And because these students are indoctrinated to believe they are "special" any failure on their part is not their fault but because of the "racist" system that didn't recognize and reward this "gifted" student.

Even when the socialist fail they suceed. Based on a victim oriented system, their power rests on an racially disaffected populace. A bitter indebted former student is just a another voter they can rely upon.
