The Boston Public School System has decided to suspend enrollment in its Advanced Work Classes designed to enhance the development of students of unusual ability because 70% of those registered there are of White or Asian descent even though the pool from which the program draws its members is comprised overwhelmingly of Blacks and Hispanics.
To those on the “woke” Left, this Does Not Compute! In their world the impact of Culture doesn’t count. “Anti-racist” Ibram X. Kendi, amongst a host of others, says reverence for achievement, reason, science, the nuclear family and the so-called work ethic, are merely Western eccentricities which Blacks need not emulate. That a drug addict such as Snoop Dog is a revered Black cultural icon has nothing to do with the disproportionate crime rate among inner city Blacks. That Hip Hop in general celebrates a “stick it to the white man” irreverence for values that unequivocally lead to success in the real world, is not, apparently, responsible for these statistical anomalies. And those wonderful Black moralists such as C. Dolores Tucker who was very critical of the Hip Hop Culture are all, to the “anti-racist” Left, “Uncle Toms.” There is no more perfect manifestation of the intellectual degeneracy of “progressives” such as the Obamas than their insistence that a person of Color ought to see the world in a particular way because of their Color!
The Left has eliminated Human Consciousness, i.e., human intelligence and volition, from the historical narrative and is actually proud that it has done so. Having reduced us to mere statistics, it is nevertheless convinced of the sophistication of its world view!!!
