Don’t let it bother you.

It’s been quite some time, but I also read The Bell Curve. Liberals couldn’t refute it, so they labeled it “racist”, a standard ploy for political correctness, which was invented to deny and/or conceal truth.

But I do get a kick when liberals argue against using IQ or even grades and SAT scores and they inevitably throw in, “We want to make everyone above average.”

1. Indications are Britain’s social decay runs approximately 15-25yrs ahead of ours.

2. You might be familiar with the news item I am refering to in this point.:
Last month, (I believe,) there was a Home Office mandate that bigotry starts in infancy, pre-cognitive, even pre-language. You could detect this unacceptable “hardwired” bigotry by the weaning choices the young tykes made. A caucasian baby that refused a tidbit of General Chao’s chicken obviously had a hatred of Chinese people, while if that same child refused jerked chicken he hated Blacks. It is unacceptable! And they wanted daycare, Doctors, schools, (in short, everyone’s neighbor,) to play the nosey-parker and denounce these youngsters.

Never mind sensitivities to spices, or even just simple preference… If you are caucasian don’t prefer every culture but your own you’re a racist, and probably a hate-criminal. And you probably inherited it.

My long-winded prequal comes to this: we are not just approaching that pass, we are bearing down on it at ramming speed. If you believe differently: did you know the only reason those who won’t vote Obama won’t is bigotry? Nothing else…

Your “Conservative to be clear…” is wonderful advice, and I’m all for it, but when you have the cultural pressures I noted above, combined with assertation by the 9 Circus Court that your compelling interest as Parent is less than that of the State in matters of curricula, just how do you plan to enforce your will over that of CA’s? The case was sex-ed, but it wasn’t a narrowly defined by any means. The is left open, just waiting for some lefty ideolog to mine it.

I (personally) think people’s energy better spent in pushing “right-to-homeschool” laws, and “hands-off” laws for those schools which refuse public funding. This before the Left (completely) catches on. At the extremes, we can always open privately funded schools, as long as when we open them we’ll be beyound easy reach.

Separate might not always be unequal, but equal is sometimes special, as in women.

“Different races may differ in mean IQ: Whites mean 100, …”

I thought the mean IQ, by definition, was 100 for the whole population.

You are not obviously one steeped in logical thought. Your entire article puts the lie to that statement.

Different races may differ in mean IQ: Whites mean 100, American Blacks 80, Mexicans circa 85, North Asians 105, Jews 112, etc. Read some of the books by Richard Lynn on the subject. Given mean IQs that differ so, only lawyers, Judges and Liberals would expect schools to EQUALLY educate children from different races together.

Brown vs. Board of Education has been and is an unmitigated disaster for the USA.

“VISTA – Parents of Latino students at Vista’s most ethnically diverse school are incensed over a campaign by other parents to preserve an honors program there.
“The policy debate is taking place at Lincoln Middle School, where the principal is proposing mixing some of the school’s most gifted students with others of mixed academic abilities in an effort to pump up test scores.

“The proposal to dismantle the Gifted And Talented Education, or GATE, program at the school is supported by the Latino parents, opposed by parents of the GATE students.

… ‘All students should be treated equally,’ Latino parents said in a letter to the board and district administrators. “We believe that the school should not create differences between students who know more and students who know less.’”
