So that’s how we end up with public sector employees with degrees in slip shot nonsense controlling everything from FAA to local public schools . I suppose that is also how 13.3% of the American Population end up representing 30% or more of public sector employees with IQ’s hovering around 85 , a mear 10 points above the scale where mental retardation is measured !

The problem is that there is a segment of the society that will read that and think, “wow, more colleges should do that. Diversity is a good thing.”

Others of us will think, “well that’s the stupidest idea ever. What a great way to fill our universities with the illiterates that inhabit the inner cities.”

What ever happened to working hard to get good grades and go to college where you will be surrounded by the best and brightest?

…and the decline only worsens.

Letting stupid people into college will always increase diversity…After all, diversity is the real purpose of education…

Why would colleges want to enhance diversity?
Shouldn’t colleges want to enhance academic achievement above all else.

These ‘studies’ are at taxpayer expense and are typically BS. There are hundreds of these BS studies just in the last few years. Below are a few recent examples of ‘quality’ studies.

Study: cut down trees in California to save billions of gallons of water

Claim: Baby Birds Can’t Cope with Climate Change

Claim: “Climate change” is enticing monkeys to have more promiscuous inter-species sex

Humans Are Causing Mammals to Shrink!

Believe what you want:
vaccines good or evil, earth is flat?, fake moon landing?, CO2 is evil (a dead planet without at least 150ppm)?, alien abduction for medical experimentation?, etc.

Humans have shown throughout recorded history to reflect the best and worst for the planet’s inhabitants. Certain people will do anything for power and money and have also been shown to ‘follow orders’ even to kill millions.

There are millions of people that will swallow (gullibility) this ‘ditch SAT to enhance diversity’ garbage. Try to convince them otherwise is tantamount to convince cement it can float.

From the article-
“Jack Buckley, a senior vice president at the American Institutes for Research, notes that while diversity improved at schools that have gone test-optional, that also happened “at the same rate among those that didn’t.”

In other words, says Buckley, test-optional schools are not more effective in enrolling minorities than schools that still require test scores.”

Wakanda University Of pure make believe nonsense to make those incapable of achieving even a lack luster level of acedemic performance believe they have abilities and intellect that cannot be tested or applied . More mumbo jumbo nonsense for inferior sub species to embellish false sense of pride and become enraged and insulted when challenged in real life situations !

College has become merely an all-expenses paid luxury vacation for snowflakes to vent against white male patriarchy, while those same white males will ultimately pay for said vacation.

Until the welfare spigot is turned off (government grants for students, federally-guaranteed student loans, government research grants for universities), the problem will NEVER end. When schools must EARN customers by delivering quality education, can only gain access to monies saved for college, and are forced by all market forces to operate efficiently, then the student will once again be restored to the position of power, and ONLY those who truly see the value in a traditional college education will attend.

Removing standardized test from education would remove the academic floor and academic achievements would decline significantly more. The mental elevators of most students wouldn’t even reach the low floors they do now. America would fall even farther behind other countries. Only Cultural Communist and Useful Idiots champion such stupidity.

Just think of it as the new sub-prime mortgage racket for the precious other who can’t pass even the pathetic watered down tests now (partly) used. Shitavious, Pedro and Ahmed can’t get into the university ’cause they were busy doin’ the pharma-biz in schul-dayz and can’t read past kindergarten level? Didn’t shine as a bakkaball star or afleet? No problem! Step right up for this chump-change-cheap government-guaranteed college loan for just for precious brown snowflakes engineered by the world-renowned impeccable financial wizards at (((Goldman-Sachs, J.P. Morgan-Chase, Citigroup, Wells-Farago and Bankstas of Amurika))) – sold in fresh-tranches to all these clueless 401K plans. It’s a guaranteed path to a world of eternal bling. What could possibly go wrong?

It’s truly amazing how the body-snatchers just keep repeating variations on the same old scam over and over again and how many idiots keep falling for it over and over again. See that gold?, It’s really SHIT!! See that shit? It’s really GOLD!!!

Dr. Dingbat Token Hire who replaced Professor Whizbang as the President of the vine covered ruins of academia says we all need coloring books and diversity. “Da future no belong to people who farm and makey da wheel. We here now and the moon gawds will always protect us from the racism of high technology and agriculture.”
College used to be a sound investment. Nowadays you might as well spend it on hookers and booze. Chapter 13 economics is what “diversity” is all about. When you “invest” in the detritus of the Third World shitholes, you may as well flush it down the toilet and into the sewer that DO NOT HAVE BACK HOME…

‘Increasing diversity’ means decreasing the number of white people at universities. It’s not about helping the impenetrably stupid brown hordes – that is an impossibility. It’s about eliminiating as many whites from university education as possible.

So, who benefits from this?

It’s obviously not white people.
It’s not even the brown people.
So who?

The Mega Corporations. The intent is for a stupid population that can be controlled by the elite, who will live in luxury with a bevy of armed guards, day and night.

The increased populations will be fighting for the scraps, as hordes of workers will compete for 1 job at low pay.

I guess as long as medical doctors and surgeons, structural engineers, and skilled trades for example are a non white minorities, it will not matter if they don’t know the subject matter. We do not need no stinkin tests.

It is racist to ask people to compete, say the loony left AND the loony right.

So really not much difference between the loony left and the loony right. The loony left thinks it unfair that whites are better at competing. The loony right thinks it unfair that the Jews, Asians, etc. are better. Hilarious.
