The Dumbing Down of The West




Below is an amusing story of how a British kid received GCSE credit for riding a bus. The GCSE are standardized tests that are often requirements for university acceptance. They are somewhat similar to the United States SAT and ACT tests.

In order to ensure equal outcomes (usually due to demands to meet diversity quotas) these standardized tests have been dumbed down across the West. Admittance to university was usually only achievable by the brightest of our young. Now universities pretty much accept anyone, especially if it meets some diversity goal.

    It's coming soon, you can't really trust parents to teach these things to their children. The State will handle it from now on.

Violence In Chicago

President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
