If you’re sure it can happen in NYC then you have not seen NY politicians in action.

OK then. Not my problem.

While I support completely merit bases admissions, I can’t help but sit back and enjoy far left liberals bitching about the policies they impose on us deplorables. This is what Samantha Bee and her husband were whining about. Let ‘em suffer IDGAS.

“I just don’t buy into the narrative that any one ethnic group owns admission to these schools,”

What a moron! The Asians aren’t claiming they own admission to the schools, they just don’t want to be discriminated against.

But they will get the last laugh. At the end of the day what makes a good school is the quality of the student body. By watering that down those schools won’t be so elite anymore.

Asian Groups See Bias in Plan to Diversify New York’s Elite Schools

Well, duh.

But in a series of forceful statements on Tuesday, Richard A. Carranza, the schools chancellor, offered a blunt rebuttal to their claims. “I just don’t buy into the narrative that any one ethnic group owns admission to these schools,” he said on Fox 5 New York.

That sounds like an admission of guilt to me.

If Asian Groups are worried about this one, they haven’t heard the one about air traffic controllers...

“are around 75% Asian. “

—

They study,they are smart,and they earned admission.

No one would be complaining if it was 75% black.

Asians vote for the Rats by a huge majority so it’s hard to be sympathetic.

The commercial for Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) has a line that states “The world equally distributes talent”. Anyone with a brain knows that’s clearly not true, but even if it was, certain cultures put a greater emphasis on education and hard work than others. It makes a huge difference.

I guess the person behind that slogan never seen how the Normal Distribution, aka Bell Curve, describes any measure of intelligence.

[MissEdie]

My husband and I aren’t Asian; however we do this already.

[kearnyirish2]

These policies have far-ranging consequences for decades into the future; every time a fake diploma or degree is handed out to a token, wheels are set in motion whereby that person is as qualified as anyone else with one - even if they actually earned it. Woe to anyone who doesn’t hire their fair share of fake graduates!

[kearnyirish2]

More likely they’ll just vote with their feet...

Mr. Carranza emphasized that relying on one test was out of step with admissions to other elite institutions. “If you’re applying to Harvard today, you would not be admitted based on a test score,” Mr. Carranza said. “It’s multiple measures.” (He might have chosen a different school to cite as an example: Harvard University is being sued by a group that says the school discriminates against Asian-American applicants.)

This is the funniest part of the story.

[firebrand]

This would be a tragedy. Not only would it be unfair to the most hardworking applicants, it would completely ruin the school for everyone.

It happened to my school.

...they will be pushed aside in the drive to admit more than a handful of black and Latino students... Richard A. Carranza, the schools chancellor, offered a blunt rebuttal to their claims. “I just don’t buy into the narrative that any one ethnic group owns admission to these schools,”

"...unless they're Latino, oh, and black, or really any other criteria other than academic standing." Prop 209 will help tip California into the Red. Thanks C19fan.
