SF Schools to Impose Performance Equality
Posted by Dave Blount at May 29, 2008 12:57 PM
Remember when liberals attempted to impose their depraved conception of equality by bussing children from nice neighborhoods into ghettoes, where they could be preyed upon by thugs and forced to waste their time in zoos instead of learning? It didn't work out too well. But that won't stop them from trying it again — and bussing is only the beginning of the insanity being imposed in San Francisco.
The school board voted 6-0 to pass a Stalinesque new plan by SF Superintendent Carlos Garcia. Schools are to be "fully integrated racially, ethnically and socio-economically." But to achieve the goal of equality of outcome between students of all backgrounds, bussing won't be enough. The only way to accomplish this is to limit achievement to the lowest common denominator.
The plan includes a "grading system" that will identify schools "that are failing to address the institutional racial inequities within their walls." That is, if white kids from nice families get better grades than ghetto denizens who don't know who their fathers are, heads will roll.
A school will be judged not by the students learning anything, but by how well it "serves each and every student based on that school's ability to disrupt the historically predictive power of racial, ethnic, linguistic and socio-economic student attributes." Whites and Asians will need to be prevented from trying so hard and making other ethnic groups look bad.
After performance homogeneity has been achieved, everyone will be like a blade of grass in a lawn, cut down to regulation height, indistinguishable from everyone else.
Equality of opportunity is what makes America great. Coerced equality of outcome is what makes communism evil; nothing could be more inimical to the human spirit.
