What's more unfair,
wealthy parents paying and cheating to get their children into good
colleges, or tax-payers and wealthy donors paying for Affirmative
Action programs that place minority ethnic groups with lower SAT
scores in good colleges?
Today Fox News
(more neoconservative than conservative) brought on a black youth from
a poor family who tried hard and has been accepted in good schools as
a contrast to the rich cheaters. Good for him, but I'll bet he had help from Affirmative Action programs that choose by
quotas rather than merit or SAT scores, which has hurt far more worthy students than the rich cheaters.
The same sort of
unfairness takes place in putting far more money into programs for
slow learners than in programs for gifted students. It is the gifted
who have the best chance of improving the world, as well as improving
the lives of minorities.
Is there some sort of
epidemic of masochism or cuckoldry taking place in the West? Or is it
more likely the will to power of people who gain power by destroying
the merit system in the West?
