unemployment reality:

"NOTE: Persons marginally attached to the labor force are those who currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that they want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the past 12 months. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related reason for not currently looking for work. Persons employed part time for economic reasons are those who want and are available for full-time work but have had to settle for a part-time schedule. Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data. "

Two about that are very telling. First, they decided to kill a 14-year old. Second, they failed.

the real contest is for senate seats; if we have the majority there, then he is rendered moot.

What I personally find most interesting concerning such questions.
When a white/christian community sets something up, just for them » racism.
When a non-white/non-christian community sets something up, just for them » you are racist when you state it probably also is racism as it is the same if whities do it ...

In this case it seems as if everybody will be favoured, still I cant help read it and think that everybody will be of worse.

There's more to just race than skin colour. It may well be that Asians are better at mathematics than Caucasians, in turn better than African-Americans. Whether those differences are biological or cultural is another matter.

"A teenage schoolgirl was arrested by police for racism after refusing to sit with a group of Asian students because some of them did not speak English."

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... upils.html

"A Philadelphia high schooler says she was humiliated after her teacher told her to remove a Mitt Romney T-shirt she was wearing, comparing it to “wearing a KKK shirt.”"

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10 ... sroom?lite

ahad, you are saying that some races are better than others, but that's okay. if a schoolgirl wears a romney t-shirt, though, she's a racist. :?

moral of the story: get your kids out of public schools before they are thoroughly brainwashed.

The first story you have linked to there is from a source known for its sensationalism and not for its reliability.

The second is from America, and I think that says enough :P Besides, Romney does look like a t**t.


And no RD, that's not what I'm saying at all. Read the post again. I'm saying that if there are differences, they could be down to culture as easily as they could be down to biology.

Moral of the story: Public schools don't so s**t. I've spent just over fifteen years in public education and I can think for myself perfectly well, thank you very much. Stupid people are just stupid.

Is it racist?:
It is a response to the performance/cultural differences that appear out of statistics. This is not a measure of the ability or aptitude of any individual child. Setting expectations based on those statistics will only cause the statistics and the education delivered to get worse.
It is not racist it is just ignorant and wrong.
There's more to just race than skin colour. It may well be that Asians are better at mathematics than Caucasians, in turn better than African-Americans. Whether those differences are biological or cultural is another matter.
The statistical measurements show a "racial" difference, These are actually mostly cultural. Biologically race is an insignificant factor, Early life nutrition is far more important, hereditary factors also play a huge role. The use of "Race" in statistical measurements is an entirely flawed concept. Students are being prejudged by a non scientific process known as looking at them and applying a culturally determined bias.

The education system is responding to a flawed statistical analysis. All it tells us is that the education system needs to have smarter people in charge of it.

If it could be shown there were any Obama graphics or literature that had "survived" a class period with that geometry instructor, it should be the teacher's last.
