Grading By Race

A plan to give grades by racial background at University of Wisconsin.

First of all, I think this happens already in some classes. I had a history professor (the class and teacher will remain unnamed) in college who I believe gave grading advantages to students by race.

The problem with "diversity"is the rabbit-hole factor. The purposefully amorphous word is used so as to make anyone opposed to the idea seem like a racist fool, but the meaning - and actions by institutions  - can vary to the whims of any unskilled administrator or flunkie who weasels their way into a position of power.

Diversity - as used by institutions - means nothing. It means whatever the people saying it choose it to mean in their present emotional state. It means quotas, basically. But what's worse, it won't actually spell out the quotas it is trying to impose -- and will move and shift at the whims of the politically correct consensus. I dare to think this whole idea of diversity might be one of the most poisonous elements of American culture and could be one of the major causes of our bigger social and political problems - a stagnant economy, unemployment, failing education, lack of trust amongst the citizenry, destructive family structures in the lower classes, disagreements on immigration policies. It is breaking up the core idea of American identity by playing favorites and handcuffing the most competent people in our country and further, doesn't truly help those it purports to. If you want to talk about American decline, you could start in a worse places.
