Sober Up in 2012, America!!

Remix of Tool's classic song, "Sober"--as it relates to the Obamacrat Regime.

Can I get a "boom-shocka-locka-locka"?!

The Hon. James David Manning, PhD gives a "call to arms" for white people of truth. This message was preached on 12 June 2008 on the Temple Hour of Prayer.
 

The Enemy Within the Gates is in Washington DC

Anyone who would vote for Barack Obama (and his Progressocrats) this November understands nothing about economics, national interests, American sovereignty, World History, or American ideals.

Either that, or they simply don't care about America.

Bill Whittle exposes the corruption and insidious agenda of the Obama Regime:

Race and Rhetoric by Thomas Sowell

» Sowell: Race and Rhetoric » Commentary -- GOPUSA:

"...While many politicians and "leaders" have claimed credit for black progress, no one seems to be willing to take the blame for the retrogressions represented by higher unemployment rates, higher crime rates, and higher rates of imprisonment today. Or for the disintegration of the black family, which survived centuries of slavery and generations of government-imposed discrimination in the Jim Crow era, but began coming apart in the wake of the expansion of the liberal welfare state and its accompanying social dogmas..."

Voter ID Laws Prevent Fraud: So why are Obamacrats against them?

» Brown: Voter ID Laws Protect Electoral Process » Commentary -- GOPUSA:

"...It did not matter to the DOJ that an estimated 160,000 to 333,000 non-citizens were illegally registered to vote in Texas in 2008. But then again, this is the DOJ of Attorney General Holder — who was all about repressing the white vote when he dismissed the Black Panther Party case -- because he thought it demeaned "my people." With that in mind, no one should be surprised by Holder's state-by-state whack-a-mole game to exterminate voter ID laws..."

Hating the "Happy Warrior": a hobby for Leftists

KUDOS to all those courageous Americans who speak truth to power, and are excoriated by Leftist loons---and the Left-controlled mass media---for daring to speak it.  Andrew Breitbart was HATED by Progressive lemmings, by radical socialists (commies), by poverty pimps, and by the corrupt Liberal mass media he exposed.  The Happy Warrior will be sorely missed, and America owes a great debt to this patriot---for exposing the corruption and deception that he did, in his short 43 years: despite all the hateful personal attacks and death threats by the "tolerant" Left. He is gone now, but because of his courage and patriotism, a thousand new flowers will bloom in each of his footsteps; and they will carry-on his work.

Sudden passing of a great patriot: You will be missed Andrew!

Rest in Peace, Andrew.
You were an inspiration to Conservatives and investigative journalists everywhere---and you still are. Condolences to your family and friends.

Escaped Slaves from the Democratic Party Plantation Speak Out

For decades, the Democratic Party has fooled the "black community" in America into believing the myth that Democrats represent THEIR best interests; despite all the historical facts to the contrary. In response, over 90% of black voters in any election over the last 30 years have blindly cast their ballot for Democratic Party candidates. 

In order to maintain their hold on black voters, the Democratic Party therefore keeps racial identity politics, class envy, the ghetto mindset of  black "victimhood"---and government dependency---alive and well.  In reality, it is neither "the white man" or "the Tea Party" or "white Republicans" that are keep their foot on the necks of black Americans:  it is the "rent-seeking" Democratic Party.

"Islam's" Contributions to Western Civilization??

From a great piece by Counter-Jihad: Beyond the EDL

"...‘Let me highlight a handful of Islam’s contributions to Western culture. The guitar. Cough syrup. The university. Algebra. Mocha coffee...’

- Irshad Manji, from her The Trouble With Islam Today

 

This is one of the most common and annoying mistakes you can find in defence of Islam.

How can Islam itself have contributed the guitar, cough syrup, algebra, etc. to ‘Western culture’? How can a religion, or the Koran, the hadiths, etc. have contributed these things? How can even the affects of Islam, the Koran, etc. have done so? It is absolutely ridiculous to claim that Islam, a religion primarily based on the Koran, could have had an hand in the invention of the guitar, algebra, cough syrup syrup, etc. Which passages in the Koran, or the hadiths, etc. helped contribute to the creation of algebra? Which passages helped inspire the invention of cough syrup? Again, this is plain silly!..."

Jimmy Z's "Obama Sucks"

A CATCHY TUNE FROM JIMMY Z:

Excerpts from The Handbook of Liberal Logic

"The fabric of American society is actually made stronger by "progressive" public policies that encourage retention of ethnic-identity---and provide for public accommodation of diverse subcultures---than by traditional "melting pot" policies that encourage enculturation and assimilation."

"If someone's idea of "legal marriage" is confined to the union of one man to one woman---and they oppose any legal re-definition---then that person is either a homophobe or a religious bigot. Everyone has a human right to marry whomever they choose."

"It is far better to permit hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to move freely about in AZ than to allow the possibility that even one hispanic citizen or legal immigrant might erroneously be asked to show ID."

"AZ SB-1070 is merely an attempt by white Republicans to legalize racism in Arizona. The same tactic was attempted in California in 1994 with Prop 187."

"The right to be openly gay while serving in the military overides any consideration for unit cohesion and effectiveness."

"If America ends its alliance with Israel---and we stop fighting Islamic terrorist groups abroad---then jihadists will no longer have any reason to attack us."

"The passage of any new law that restricts everyone's liberty is "worthwhile"---and "justifiable"---if the new law could possibly save just one person's life."

"Only white people can be racist, because only "white people" have the power to be racist."

"There is an entire spectrum of human gender between male and female. Transgenderists simply want to exercise their basic human right to imagine a sexual "self-identity" that's different than their actual biological gender, and to be able to act it out in public."

"Morality is simply a tool of right-wing oppression. There is no such thing as right or wrong."

"If someone opposes government-controlled, universal health care, then they must be a racist."

"Wealthier people should pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than everyone else because they can more easily afford to pay taxes, and because they benefit more from public spending than anyone else. Besides, in order for "the rich" to have accumulated their wealth, somebody---"somewhere"---had to have been "exploited" (at some time).

"If we outlaw handgun ownership, there will be a lot less crime, and people will stop killing one other."

"National borders are simply artificial lines on a map: They were created by the global capitalist-elites---who control all governments---in order to suppress solidarity and unionization of the working masses of the world."

"Socialism simply means that "the Government" acts on its duty to take care of everyone---and to make us all more equal. It's the cornerstone of bringing about social justice in America."

Can Anyone Be THIS Unaware?

Below is a great linked article at Texas Rainmaker's blog from April 15, 2009. If it had been written a few more months later, he also could have listed Obama's "unawareness" that his ex-employer, ACORN, had been getting millions of tax dollars from the Federal Government.



The Audacity of Unawareness
by the TexasRainmaker
April 15th, 2009

Barack Obama, through his spokesman, claimed today that he was unaware of the tax day tea parties. Granted, the MSM has done a good job in suppressing any sort of coverage ahead of time (and the little coverage they did provide was derisive at best)… but how out of touch is the Community Organizer in Chief, really?

This much:

- He was unaware that he was attending a church (for 20 years) with a racist pastor who hates America.

- He was unaware that he was family friends with, and started his political career in the living room of, a domestic terrorist.

- He was unaware that he had invested in two speculative companies backed by some of his top donors right after taking office in 2005.

- He was unaware that his own aunt was living in the US illegally.

- He was unaware that his own brother lives on pennies a day in a hut in Kenya.

- He was unaware of the AIG bonuses that he and his administration approved and signed into a bill.

- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of COmmerce was under investigation in a bribery scandal.

- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services was a tax cheat.

- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of the Treasury was a tax cheat.

- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be the U.S. Trade Representative was a tax cheat.

- He was unaware that the woman he nominated to be his Chief Performance Officer was a tax cheat.

- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be #2 at the Environmental Protection Agency was under investigation for mismanaging $25 million in EPA grants.

For the love of God, there are people in comas that are more aware of world affairs than this guy.

A Guide to Destroying America through the Democratic Process

1. Oppose any legislation that would require voters to provide proof of identification at polling places. Claim that it would discriminate against the "disenfrachised": minorities, immigrants, students, women, the poor, and the elderly.

2. Give speeches decrying "low voter turnout" at elections, and introduce methods to facilitate greater "civic involvement" in the "democratic process." Institute mail-in ballots, motor-voter laws, publicly-funded voter registration drives---and Universal Voter Registration.

3. Perpetually promote ethnic-based "identity"---and "cultural retentionism"---rather than cultural assimilation. Claim that "diversity" and multiculturalism are desireable goals for a society. Employ the word "community" to describe everyone that shares a common ethnic ancestry. Then claim that the entire "community" is being "oppressed" by the "white majority"---because of their ethnicity; this will create a greater sense of "shared vicimization"---and "ethnic solidarity"---that can be more easily manipulated by a politician.

4. Deceptively use the term "immigrant"---without any differentiation---to refer to every non-citizen that is living in America. In similar fashion, use the blanket term "residents" to refer to everyone living in the area---regardless of their immigration or citizenship status---when speaking about local political issues.

5. Give speeches about why "immigrants" (see #3) should be granted the right to vote in "local" elections---such as school board and municipal elections. Create a sense of "legitimacy" for the proposal by giving historical---and current---examples of individual States and municipalities that have granted voting rights to "immigrants" in local elections.

6. Create a nebulous concept of "immigrant (see #3) rights." Promote the idea in conjunction with the term "human rights": people will begin to believe that "illegal immigration" to America is a "human right" that subordinates immigration laws. In order to gain political support from marxists---and labor unions---promote "immigrant rights" as a struggle for universal "worker rights."

7. Promote the idea that a blanket amnesty should be granted to long-time, "hard-working", illegal "immigrants" who have "built their lives here"---and who were simply acting on a fundamental "human right" to migrate to a "better" place to raise their families. Sprinkle your speeches with phrases like "America is a nation of immigrants", "they're only doing the jobs Americans won't do", "we have a moral obligation", and the phrase "family unity."

8. Repeat Step #5---in concert with Step #2---until formerly-illegal "immigrants" are routinely voting in all local elections in every State. Oppose any political movement seeking to have the Supreme Court correct the long-misinterpreted "14th Amendment" right of "anchor-baby" citizenship.

9. Repeat Steps 6 through 8 "as necessary" until un-assimilated, "foreign-born" voters and their children outnumber multi-generational-American voters.

10. Elect "progressive" candidates that continue to promote multiculturalism, redistribution of wealth, open-border policies, and global socialism.

Ethnic Studies: Teaching Hate and Treason?

Freedom of speech is one of the hallmarks of a free society. However, one of the consequences of having freedom of speech is that morons, racists, anarchists, marxist-socialists, and religious loonies also get to speak their minds in the public arena.

One of the consequences of America's misguided "tolerance" for ethno-centrism---and affirmative action---is that some radical ideologues even manage to get themselves hired as university professors; and are all too often even given tenure.

["professor" Ward Churchill]

So, despite how radical and seditious their rantings become, they are still able to keep their bully-pulpits because they've been granted "academic immunity."

Who knows how many impressionable young people have been infected by radical, unAmerican ideologies, because students assumed their professors were the "authoritive experts" in their field; simply because their teachers had been hired by a university---and had perhaps written a book.

It would be one thing if these arrogant "intellectuals" were able to give lectures, and grade class assignments, without imposing their own biased viewpoint upon the material, but that is rarely the case for "Ethnic Studies." In fact, it's usually at the core of the curriculum.

"The border remains a military zone. We remain a hunted people. Now you think you have a destiny to fulfill in the land that historically has been ours for forty thousand years. And we're a new Mestizo nation. And they want us to discuss civil rights. Civil rights ... law made by white men to oppress all of us of color, female and male. This is our homeland. We cannot -- we will not -- and we must not be made illegal in our own homeland. We are not immigrants that came from another country to another country. We are migrants, free to travel the length and breadth of the Americas because we belong here. We are millions. We just have to survive. We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. It’s a matter of time. The explosion is in our population." -Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez

And then there's good old Ward Churchill (whose own chickens finally came home to roost):

“As for those in the World Trade Center ... Well, really, let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break. They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America's global financial empire -- the ‘mighty engine of profit’ to which the military dimension of U.S. policy has always been enslaved -- and they did so both willingly and knowingly… If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I'd really be interested in hearing about it.” -Ward Churchill

["Churchill was made a Professor of Ethnic Studies in 1996, was promoted to full professor in 1997, and finally became Chair of the department in 2002 -- though he did not (and still does not) possess a Ph.D."

The Denver Post has also reported that in the late 1960s Churchill became involved with the Students for a Democratic Society and its sister organization, the Weather Underground. The Post, quoting Churchill, stated that he briefly taught Weather Underground members how to make bombs and to fire weapons -- “Which end does the bullet go, what are the ingredients, how do you time the damned thing.”]

And then there's Professor emeritus of Chicano studies at California State University, Rodolfo Acuna:

[Exhorting his students "to critically think about identity," Acuna urges them to reject terms like "Latino" because "it is a term that has been imposed upon us." Such themes are central to Acuna's course, "History of the Chicano/a," and trace their origins to Acuna's very first book, Occupied America: A History of Chicanos. Now the most widely assigned text in Chicano Studies programs across the United States, this tome includes such chapter titles as: "Legacy of Hate: The Conquest of Mexico's Northwest"; "Remember the Alamo: The Colonization of Texas"; "Freedom in a Cage: The Colonization of New Mexico"; "Sonora Invaded: The Occupation of Arizona"; and "California Lost: America for Anglo Americans."]

And there's Chicano Studies professor, Dr. Charles Truxillo - at the University of New Mexico:

Professor Predicts 'Hispanic Homeland'

Along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border “there is a growing fusion, a reviving of connections,” Truxillo said. “Southwest Chicanos and Norteño Mexicanos are becoming one people again.”

Truxillo, 47, has said the new country should be brought into being “by any means necessary,” but recently said it was unlikely to be formed by civil war. Instead, its creation will be accomplished by the electoral pressure of the future majority Hispanic population in the region, he said.

Truxillo, who teaches at UNM's Chicano Studies Program on a yearly contract, believes it's his job to help develop a “cadre of intellectuals” to think about how it can become a reality.

In addition to "Ethnic Studies", the continuing practice of "academic tenure" in America has resulted in producing college students who have been taught to be unpatriotic, and conditioned to think "critically" of the founding principles and traditional values that made America the greatest nation in the world.

Arizona takes another step in reclaiming America for Americans

Thank heavens Gov. Jan Brewer and the State of Arizona are doing something about the disease of "progressive" education and racial-identity politics:

Arizona bill targeting ethnic studies signed into law
By Nicole Santa Cruz, Los Angeles Times - May 12, 2010
(excerpts below---with some pertinent links added)

"HB 2281 bans schools from teaching classes that are designed for students of a particular ethnic group, promote resentment or advocate ethnic solidarity over treating pupils as individuals. The bill also bans classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government."

"Tucson Unified School District officials say the Chicano studies classes benefit students and promote critical thinking. "We don't teach all those ugly things they think we're teaching," said Judy Burns, the president of the district's governing board."

"She has no intention of ending the program, which offers courses from elementary school through high school in topics such as literature, history and social justice, with an emphasis on Latino authors and history. About 3% of the district's 55,000 students are enrolled in such classes."

"[Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction] Tom Horne has been trying to end the program for years, saying it divides students by race and promotes resentment. He singled out one history book used in some classes, "Occupied America: A History of Chicanos," by Rodolfo Acuna, a professor and founder of the Chicano studies program at Cal State Northridge."

"To begin with, the title of the book implies to the kids that they live in occupied America, or occupied Mexico," Horne said last week in a telephone interview.

Also last week, Augustine Romero, director of student equity in the Tucson school district, said it now had become politically acceptable to attack Latinos in Arizona."

I don't quite see how this law constitutes an "attack" on "Latinos", Gus. It's an "attack" on certain taxpayer-funded public school programs that promote ethnic divisiveness and unpatriotic sentiment.

Arizona Bans Ethnic Studies in Public Schools
Dana Chivvis Contributor
(excerpts below---with a pertinent link added)

"The law, which takes effect Dec. 31, bans classes that are designed for [any] particular ethnic group, promote overthrow of the U.S. government, foster resentment toward a particular race or class, or "advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals." "

"Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne said the bill was written to target a Mexican-American studies program in the Tucson school system, according to the Los Angeles Times. The 14-year-old program offers courses in standard topics like literature and history, but with an emphasis on Latino authors or history. It also has specialized courses with African-American and Native American emphasis."

"Approximately 2 percent of the Tucson Unified School District's 55,000 students are enrolled in the program."

Arizona gov. signs bill targeting ethnic studies
By JONATHAN J. COOPER (AP)
(excerpts below---with some pertinent links added)

"State schools chief Tom Horne, who has pushed the bill for years, said he believes the Tucson school district's Mexican-American studies program teaches Latino students that they are oppressed by white people."

"Public schools should not be encouraging students to resent a particular race, he said."

" "It's just like the old South, and it's long past time that we prohibited it," Horne said."

"The measure signed Tuesday prohibits classes that advocate ethnic solidarity, that are designed primarily for students of a particular race or that promote resentment toward a certain ethnic group."

"Horne, a Republican running for attorney general, said the [Mexican-American Studies] program promotes "ethnic chauvinism" and racial resentment toward whites while segregating students by race. He's been trying to restrict it ever since he learned that Hispanic civil rights activist Dolores Huerta told students in 2006 that "Republicans hate Latinos." "

"Six UN human rights experts released a statement earlier Tuesday saying all people have the right to learn about their own cultural and linguistic heritage, they said."

"Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman didn't directly address the UN criticism, but said Brewer supports the bill's goal.

"The governor believes ... public school students should be taught to treat and value each other as individuals and not be taught to resent or hate other races or classes of people," Senseman said."

Despite the UN's "human rights" experts weighing-in on American public school policy, this law does not prevent or restrict ANYONE from "learning" about any ethnic culture or linguistic history that they want to; that's what public libraries and the internet are for. However, taxpayers should not have to fund educational programs that promote the divisiveness of "ethnic solidarity", or race-based resentment against other American citizens. Imagine the outcry if there were a tax-funded "White Supremacy Studies" program being taught in public schools.

Discrimination is not "evil": in many cases it's just common sense and a fundamental right

The problem of absurd anti-discrimination laws are even worse in the European Union than they are in America. As America now slides further into euro-socialism under our current "Progressive" leadership, we should all be paying attention to Europe---and learn the consequences to individual liberty and property rights that multiculturalism and big government brings.

In America, I've already seen individual rights and liberties sacrificed on the liberal altars of multiculturalism and diversity. The further that America shifts Left, the worse it gets.

When I was a young man, it was quite common in restaurants and bars to see pre-manufactured signs that proclaimed "We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to Anyone" as soon as you entered the door. Whereas some business owners may have posted the sign for purely racist reasons, most proprietors were merely putting potential customers---and troublemakers---on notice that an individual's behavior and personal appearance would determine whether the owner would do business with that person on his property. [Some restaurants still require their male patrons to wear a tie and jacket before they will serve them.]

But, because of the hyper-sensitivity of some minority groups, posting property-right notices like that has become "politically incorrect", and may even leave the owner open to lawsuits. In their place, you'll now see signs stating "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service"---mostly due to government health codes.

In today's "over-accomodating" America, I'm surprised that "nudist rights" activists have not cried "nudist discrimination"---or condemned such rules as "Jim Crow" laws.

The article excerpted below illustrates how absurdly the common sense value of "discrimination" has been universely demonized in Europe---to appease various "rights" groups.

Discrimination is not evil
EuropeNews 21 April 2010
By AMT & Henrik Ræder Clausen, additional translation by JLH


"The problem is that if we don’t have the guts to differentiate between ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’, and to act accordingly, we get eaten. Or shot, as was the case at Fort Hood, where Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan should have been suspended from service long before he managed to shoot 41 people, killing 31 of them. Fear of ‘discriminating’ constrained the hand of the intelligence services, with fatal results."

"Political correctness, ‘religious sensitivity’, ‘anti-discrimination’ — the problem has many names. Yet, they have a common core — a denial of our right to act in accordance with our values. International organizations and human rights committees deal with problems on levels of abstraction bordering on the absurd — thus the generic condemnation of ‘discrimination’..."

"Discrimination means differentiating between what is desirable and what is not. It is a subjective evaluation of things, events and persons, and by human nature we do tend to distinguish between good and bad, useful and useless, desirable and unattractive. Laws against ‘discrimination’ as such — that is, laws that are overly broad — deny us the right to differentiate in certain fields of life, and conversely assign others rights to not be discriminated against."

"This is, as a principle of law, rather abstract, and a significant departure from how we live our lives. In daily life we discriminate who to visit, who to date, who to start projects with etc. We do so based on personal evaluations and prejudices (well- or ill-founded), but generally we do have the right to evaluate things personally and act upon our judgement. ‘Discrimination’ simply isn’t a crime in the same sense that ‘theft’ or ‘rape’ is. "

"There’s an asymmetry here, though. Customers are still free to choose their shops based on any criteria they desire, while business owners do not have that right. This actually constitutes a limitation to the property rights of the business owner. He owns his business, and as such has a fundamental right to do with his business as he pleases, including turning away potential customers."

"The principle of ownership implies that the owner has the right to deny others the use of his property at his own discretion. Anti-discrimination laws violate this fundamental principle."

The Marriage of Marxism and Militant Mexican-Americanism

When American communists interview comrades in the struggle, they use a language all their own:

excerpts from:
March for legalization and equality on May 1
Interview with Carlos Montes
Interview by Staff
April 11, 2010

Fight Back! interviewed Carlos Montes, a veteran of the Chicano liberation struggle and a leader of the immigrant rights movement.

Fight Back!: Why are the May Day protests so important this year?

Carlos Montes: This May Day is important because it will bring out hundreds of thousands of Mexican and Central American immigrants to say no to ICE repression and to demand equality. May Day will be a show of force. It will demonstrate the power of the Mexican/Latino working class and solidarity with our sisters and brothers in the home country. The May Day events will show that the millions of undocumented are clear in the demand for full legalization - for all - right now. We demand that immigration legislation be presented and passed this year.

The May 1 marches and rallies will send a clear message to the Department of Homeland Security that we condemn the continued deportations and demand an end to ICE raids, detentions and deportations.

So, let me get this straight: On May 1st, "hundreds of thousands" of illegal aliens and their supporters will be marching and protesting and demanding that "they" get "full legalization" rights, simply because---so far---they've managed to avoid detection, arrest, and deportation by law enforcement?!

Understanding the Language of the Left: a short glossary

While browsing through some liberal and "progressive" websites, I realized that Lefties use common words in uncommon ways. So, I developed this short glossary to indicate what Lefties are actually saying when they use certain common terms:

Bigot: anyone who has different beliefs than a Liberal has

Racist: any white person---or Conservative---that disagrees with Liberal policies

Immigrant: any foreigner who has crossed America's border to take-up residency

Migrant: a foreigner who has the "human right" to live wherever they want---even if it's on your land

Xenophobe: a term for anyone who wants America's existing immigration laws enforced

Imperialist: someone who invests capital resources in a foreign country, and provides employment for the locals

worker exploitation: an economic system whereby someone makes profit from providing employment

corporate America: any business enterprise, including self-employment, that makes profit

victimization: the reason someone else has more than you do---especially if he/she is a "racist"

economic justice: the forced transfer of income and property from those that have some, to those that don't have any, or as much

social justice: institutionalized revenge for real or imagined victimization from several generations ago

hate speech: when someone praises the Constitution, or speaks-out against Liberals and their policies

right-wing smear tactic: when conservatives expose the truth about a Liberal or his/her agenda

ad hominem attack: what to do when you can't logically argue against a Conservative's stance on an issue

Science is TOO WHITE at Berkeley High School

In this country, institutionalized racism often masquerades in the guise of "multicultural diversity." In the Bay Area Republic, racism is taking the form of a school budget reform proposal at Berkeley High School that would eliminate science labs---and 5 science teachers---since those classes are mainly populated by white students. Those educational resources could then be redirected to benefit underperforming students: Berkeley High has a wide educational achievement gap wherein white students are doing far better than the state average, while black and Latino students are doing much worse. So, this redirecting of educational resources will help fix all that. (yeah, right.)

One of the problems with this typical Left Coast thinking, is that the minority group achievers who are also enrolled in these Advanced Placement science classes will be negatively impacted by this budget proposal, as well. (read the entire news story here)

As Thomas Lifson put it in his posting at the American Thinker:

"All Berkeley High students, whatever their race, would lose the opportunity to get a solid grounding in science, opening up the door to achievement in higher education and life via scientific study."

The loss of achievement is a small price to pay to insure that mediocrity becomes universal.
