Is there a place in the country better off because Democrats have control over the local or state government? I mean, I guess if your hobby is getting pregnant so you can have an abortion, living in Chicago or Boston is a plus, but not if you’re a fan of things like not being robbed or shot. Otherwise, only slumlords and progressive “organizers” thrive in a world controlled by the left. And if you want to get your kid an education, forget about it. There is nothing Democrats can’t ruin, and there is nothing even potentially good they will not ruin.
You’ve all heard about “equity,” Democrats present the word like it’s the cure for something, anything. They pretend it is about opportunity when it is about outcomes. Democrats want to dictate outcomes – pick winners and losers, rewarding their donors while ignoring their voters, whom they take for granted. OJ Simpson treated women better than Democrats treat their voters.
But hey, they keep voting for Democrats, so why be effective when you don’t have to be?
Back to equity.
San Francisco, the progressive Petri dish from which so many bad ideas spring, is implementing “equitable grading” in their schools. Why? Because minority students are not doing as well as Asian students, who are also minorities. (As an aside, it always cracks me up when Democrats talk about how racist the country is; they whine about how well Asians and Indians are doing. Are we racist or not? Because if we were, why are two minorities out-earning evil whitey?)
What is “equitable grading”? It is a scheme to cover up just how badly Democrats have screwed up the education system in their cities by lowering standards for grades. As I always say, if you control the unit of measure, you control everything. If you can change what constitutes a passing grade, you will have a higher passing rate without improving the education of a single student.
The Voice of San Francisco reports, “Without seeking approval of the San Francisco Board of Education, Superintendent of Schools Maria Su plans to unveil a new Grading for Equity plan.” There is no input from anyone, just a top-down imposition. It’s how the party of “This is what democracy looks like” operates.
