From 5.30. 2008
Senator
Obama now has a solution to education: little or no testing and, of course
higher taxes.[1]
This is a predictable hope from somebody who practiced ‘community organizing,’
a crude euphemism for rabble-rousing the poor in Chicago using the Communist Saul Alinsky
Methods of radicalism. Obama admired Saul Alinsky, a loudly proud Marxist and
street hustler. So did Hillary.
The
difficulty in the education of minorities is described by the existence of a
social phenomenon known as the education
gap. [2]
This
gap is the difference between average test scores of white and blacks 100- 85
for a 15 point difference. These 15 IQ points have even been acknowledged by
the New York Times.[3]
This gap was first noticed about 1905 [4]
in the early research on cognitive skills and has persisted in almost forms of education
in all the school districts and is described in detail by the publication of The Bell Curve.[5]
There have been hundreds of millions of IQ tests given since 1910 and these
tests appear in different forms such as the military tests and some tests
administered by corporations to screen potential employees. This summary of the
Bell Curve studies merely stated the obvious existence of such a gap and was
based on public test scores and was immediately assaulted by the left as
racist. Perhaps the critics think the
book actually changed the test scores. Many seem to think that the publication
of his book actually created the gap, or worse. Minorities
cannot compete with whites on standardized tests. We can all argue about
this gap and the reasons that it exists and grope for ‘root causes’ and other
clichés, but the fact remains that minorities cannot as yet compete against
whites in academia, the corporate work force, or more particularly Asians, in
the academic arena. So, in nearly all of the 14,000 school districts across the
land there are no
school systems where blacks routinely score higher than whites on standardized
tests with roughly 50:50 population ratios. These tests have been stringently rewritten
expunge the ‘white bias’ and ‘be fair’ and when re-administered have produced
the same results; A15 point deficiency is nearly always observed. If the 15
point gap was a myth then we would expect to see about half the school
districts showing blacks populating the upper half of the academic population
and we observe essentially none of this,. Money is not
the solution as the Washington ,
DC , school system spends the most
money on their students and have probably the worst
academic record in America .[6]
Money is clearly not the answer.[7]
The lefties tacitly admit (without saying it directly) that affirmative action
is absolutely necessary for many minorities to compete in our society. They either
don’t have the cognitive skills or refuse to use them, or a combination of both.
The use of race-norming was used to disguise
this gap. [8]
In
any given large group, noting that statistics for intelligence do not apply to
individuals, we can expect to find a bell curve. There are bell curves for
blacks and whites and Asians and Hispanics and Jews and such that all have a
similar bell shape except that the mean is different for certain groups. The
width of the curve is expressed in standard deviations.[9]
So, if we choose to discuss ‘purple people’ to avoid any race arguments we
might find that the IQ ranges from 65, below which there is no way to measure
the central cognitive tendency ‘g’ to
a median of 100 to an upper limit of about 180 or so. Traditionally, those with
higher IQs have gone on to college and the SATs correlate well with IQ and
successful graduation. Generally, the minimal IQ level for a medical doctor is
about 120 and is about the same for lawyers and CEOs as the latter pair seem to
attract the most intelligent. College is
appropriate for about 20% of our citizens.
Okay,
now we have to realize that in a modern society we must have sanitation
engineers, clerks, teachers, physicists and brain surgeons and that these jobs
require different cognitive skills. Our society would have to change
significantly and approach something resembling Cambodia during the Pol Pot Khmer
Rouge days to ‘equalize’ our citizens in jobs and economic terms.[10]
Those people with obviously higher IQs or with soft hands were suffocated with
plastic so that the resultant society was more homogeneous. The Russians
performed a similar social miracle with the liquidation
of the stubborn kulaks[11]
and that solved some major problems in their utopia. In the Cambodian society,
the skill base was strictly limited to agricultural work except for the
political dictatorship so that anybody could trade jobs with anybody else and
the outcome would not change. The cities were emptied. Those who complained
were liquidated thus enhancing the food supply for the dedicated and true
believer and facilitated the streamlining of the government. The left likes
things simple and tidy.
So,
how do we choose our brain surgeons? By lot or political party loyalty norms as
the Russians did for 74 years? Can we imagine electrical engineers with an IQ
of 85 designing new and better gadgets while another purple person with 100
points higher works as a sanitation engineer? Yes, we certainly can as we
inspect the vision of the left. In our
purple society we would still have to match job skills with the cognitive skill
base required for that job or accept disaster. Disaster is very acceptable for
the left and that is why they would accept a society based on welfare and
having most of the citizens work for the government. There is no evidence that
the far left can even tolerate a prosperous society.
The
Obama Solution to
the problem of education lies in the leftist intrinsic hatred for private
property and capitalism. He is a product of the gutters of Chicago and rabid
Marxism of the mean streets and brings this openly into his campaign. His angry
wife parrots this view. The leftist societies like the USSR , Cuba , North Korea and
other social latrines are abject failures and everybody knows this. But, for
the rabid left, which can be the only way to describe the left-liberals in the US now, this IS a solution. Big government is the only answer to any left liberal
question and dumbing down[12]
our society by placing the ‘average’ person in control of the economic and
governmental levers of society is exactly what they need for a political
success. The poor have nothing according to the preaching of the far left so
why not vote for Obama and hope for a job as a university professor or brain
surgeon or court magistrate?
The
proof of the far left and their intent appears quite openly in the failure of
the massive social programs such as HUD, War on Poverty, The Great Society and
other monstrosities. They have never apologized for these outrages. They only
demand higher taxes and opportunities for more of the same. More proof of what
the unsupervised leftists in the minority sectors is seen when mostly black
liberals get control of cities such as New
Orleans , Baltimore ,
Philadelphia ,
NYC, East St Louis ,
Detroit and
others. These places are the centers of crime, sloth, sodomy, shootings and
abject failure:

Murder
in the Cities: The Triumph of Liberalism

So, if Senator Obama
wants to convince us of his intentions with this kind of fluff:
"China is graduating eight times as many engineers as we are," he said. Obama, rightly, noted that
that's a big problem "in a world where good jobs can be located anywhere
there's an Internet connection -- where a child in Denver is competing with a child in Beijing and Bangalore ."[13]
[Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]
Obama rants on with this
phony promise:
“Then, Obama said he'd make community college
free, as in beer.”As president, I will ... make community college
completely free," he said.
In return, students must agree to teach, volunteer, or join the Peace Corps,
Obama said, curiously leaving out the military as means through which kids can
"serve their country" to get a free pass into higher education.”[14]
Teach what? How to be a
loser and political parasite?
Obama,
if his Ivy League education is authentic and he is not just some token who has
had very narrow political training, which might be supported by observing that
he listened to Jeremiah Wright for 20 years, a lunatic and hopeless racist,
merely honks the sorry old kazoo of the socialist left. They want more
‘education.’ This is elitist paternalism.[15]
The left still believe that they have something to contribute to society beyond
sodomy, chaos, failed government and the mind-expanding effects of drugs.
To think that we cannot test individuals to see where they might be
best employed in our society argues against China and India ’s
impressive academic credentials. They
don’t test?
We
have to accept the very ugly fact that Obama is just the far left product of
gutter Communism and that he knows there is no hope for the inner cities
without taxing the rest of society and reducing the suburbs to the same social
and economic levels. We can look to Washington ,
DC and ask: why can’t you make education work there with
the excessive money that is wasted there? Why not explain to us
about the sloth and crime rates in New
Orleans , Detroit
and other leftist enclaves? Do they have community colleges in those places?
How much education does a drug dealer have to have to make a million dollars in
the hood?
Does
society really need a college education for their dope dealers, abortionists,
muggers, welfare recipients and rabble rousers? Why not convert our prisons
into community colleges and see how that works?
Without
testing, the left can always claim success and avoid any responsibility for the
failure of their politically defined ‘graduates.’ Metrics always sort out the
losers and show us what the left is like and what they have to offer.
An
ignorant population is the only one that the leftists can govern so they pursue
the dumbing down of American so their political constituents can compete. Money
and power are what they want and the tax base can be milked until the system
collapses then they will blame capitalism. Dekulakization [16]is their goal. They cannot tolerate those who oppose
socialism or have the cognitive skills to finess the crass tenets of the forms
of socialism that has ruined Europe and
most of Asia. The let has learned nothing from the 100,000,000 dead bodies they
left scattered around in Europe in Marxist purges.
If they cannot round up the
non-Marxist anti-believers they can certainly tax them away from their power
base, quench their individualism and
teach the proper use of socialism to their cadres in free community colleges.
The government will pay them impressive salaries with the best benfits in the
world. Such is happening to California
now, a hopeless case heading for certain bankruptcy and probable civil war.
Obama is a slick politial constuct carved out of primitive
leftist political theory and can best work the
dispicable levers of racism and
marxian ecnomnics for the Democrats. It a testamant to the Democratic Party
that Saul Alinsky, whose mental and personal hygienes could not approach the
common goat, is the enchanting idol for our two presidential candidates. That
is very telling.

“How much would it cost and what would the
benefits be if blacks and Hispanics graduated from high school, went to
college, and graduated from college at the same rate as non-Hispanic whites?
The answer to this important question for the future of the nation is explored
in this report. The costs of education would be high, increasing by about 20 percent in California
and 10 percent in the rest of the nation.
But the benefits, in the form of savings in public health and welfare expenditures
and increased tax revenues from higher incomes,
would be even higher.”
[11] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulak
“The kulaks were to be liquidated as a class and subject
to one of three fates: death sentence, labour settlements (not to be confused
with labor camps, although the former were also managed by the GULAG), or
deportation "out of regions of total collectivisation of the
agriculture". Tens of thousands of kulaks were executed, property was
expropriated to form collective farms, and many families were deported to unpopulated
areas of Siberia and Soviet Central Asia.
Often local officials were assigned minimum quotas of
kulaks to identify, and were forced to use their discretionary powers to find
kulaks wherever they could. This led to many cases where a farmer who only
employed his sons, or any family with a metal roof on their house, being
labelled kulaks and deported.
The same was happened to those labelled as "kulak
helpers" or "subkulaks" (подкулачник), those who sided with
kulaks in their opposition to collectivisation.”
