My son's elite private high school school held graduation last week.
There were roughly 100 kids in the graduating class. Lots of extremely bright kids. Probably 20 IB diplomas. And maybe a dozen of those kids were Cum Laude Society too, including my son. These kids are incredibly smart and hard working. They had straight A's throughout high school, at an elite school, in the most challenging curriculum and earned the highest SAT scores.
Out of the entire class, there was only one student who was accepted into an Ivy League school. One. But he didn't earn an IB diploma. He wasn't Cum Laude Society. Or on the Head Master's List.
He is a great kid. And I'm happy for him. This isn't, in any way, a criticism of him. But, you already know -- he had something none of the highest achieving kids had.
Something has gone terribly wrong with our society when the very brightest kids are systematically barred from the most elite academic colleges in the country. And especially when the board of the school and its staff see absolutely nothing wrong with this outcome.
In fact they will, undoutably, call me a bigot -- again. But when will they fight for our sons?
They won't. Our sons are the wrong color.
P.S. In the middle of the ceremony, the American flag left of the stage fell over and hit the ground. The school's headmaster picked it up. But he didn't know how to fix the mount. So, he just stood it back up and let it fall over again. Twice. Finally a man who was obviously a former member of the armed services came over and, standing at attention, held the flag upright. Tells you 100% everything you need to know about the headmaster and the culture of that school.
notice how leftists hate both malala yousafzai and marjane satrapi. it's almost like they hate brown women who stand up for women's rights because their loyalty lies with reactionary men as long as they're seen as anti-west
@Outokana2@Pirat_Nation there are literally other ways of defending yourself from predators either by distraction or finding ways to outsmart them. Sounds like you just want a piss-easy game where you kill everything that mildly inconveniences you. Dying and struggle are part of the experience.
