Good morning all,


Per ...

Not mentioned in article, but those not familiar can see "white privlege" on display at VA Medical Centers.

 

White privilige.....


Peggy McIntosh created the devout and zealous religious dogma of White Privilege and White Male Privilege..


Most Americans have never heard the name Peggy McIntosh nor that she came up with this idea...on which the Obama Administration picked up on and ran with it all across this land..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_McIntosh

White Privilege and White Male Privilege is systemic racism and also sexism....and is now also incorporated into CRT or Critical Race Theory.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_privilege


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory


All of these are government sponsored racism and sexism for the purpose or socially and eventually economically herding people....

Getting some people to pay or be taxed twice or more so that others can play through in the system for free....

All of these are also a form of bondage, censorship, Herding....involuntary servitude....making some people pay twice or more so others can get it for free..


Read Amendment 13 of The Constitution of the United States..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution




Unless of course you have a television or movie education in rabid , rampant, run away emotions in lieu of real thinking.


These causes and or techniques are a means of herding people...in every aspect of their lives..a control technique.

It is government sponsored Racism and Sexism.

These people backing theses groups are today become the very thing they claim to be against.


This is demonism at work...a 180 degree flip flop....particularly by educated people of letters....who should know better..

In short ...you have to become educated to become this naturally stupid...

Ishmaelites run wild......

The following article is a great read. I've only quoted four paragraphs. It speaks to the destructive policy of "leveling down" espoused by Leftists. "Leveling up" is a benefit to any country; however, the Left sees this as racist oppression. One questions the beliefs of the Left. Do they believe that some groupings of people are incapable of learning more / becoming more. Seems the "let's just dumb-down everything" path is part of Leftist dogma. The Democratic party was and is the party of slavery.

"Stop learning to read, it's discriminatory: ongoing debate in France"

https://www.centromachiavelli.com/en/2023/04/24/france-dont-learn-reading-equality-louis-maurin/

"Last among the gusts blowing from the valleys of progressivism is the proposal of pedagogue Louis Maurin, director of the Observatoire des inégalités (Observatory of Inequalities), who is championing a battle that is at first sight unusual: raising the age for learning to read.

"What is the promoter's proposed thesis? The obvious inequality among primary school pupils, some more gifted others less so, would be the result of nothing less than social inequality ahead of school entry. Nothing new so far, but the diagnosis of the "problem" goes deeper. The inequality, for Maurin, stems from the ability of parents from high social backgrounds to teach their children to read before they enter primary school: the children of the wealthy, in essence, would arrive at school already literate and thus with a distinct advantage in learning over children born into immigrant families or from the most deprived classes. The solution? Always the same: level down by raising the age of learning to read from six to seven. At six years old, what is the point - Maurin wonders - of knowing how to read?

"The proposal may raise eyebrows until one discovers that Louis Maurin is not a creative pedagogical whiz-bang spreading his theories from his living room, but one of the most authoritative sources, in education, in the entire Hexagon. In fact, the Observatory on Inequalities is an association affiliated with the public administration (and funded by it), and it gathers on its scientific council the cream of the French academic authorities in the fields of sociology, economics and philosophy, whose analyses are often taken up by "Le Café pédagogique," a very popular website and a true opinion maker for many French teachers.

"Maurin's proposal, then, does not consist of an impromptu stunt but of a new and precise chapter in the deconstruction of cognitive skills that schools in Western countries seem to be pursuing almost intentionally. To justify this under the cloak of equality, as well as ubiquitous anti-fascism, is a folly that has not failed to attract the attention of "Marianne," a weekly magazine aligned strongly to the left but never soft with woke fashions, often considered, by a large section of French people, to be American cultural trends foreign to the rationalist roots of the République."

Need another reason to avoid commercial air flights? Here you go:

"Think Twice Before You Fly"

"A 'diverse' air traffic controller could kill you."

https://www.unz.com/jtaylor/think-twice-before-you-fly/

"There hasn’t been a fatal commercial airline accident in the US since 2009. We’re due for one. We’re due for a lot. The New York Times has published the results of its own study that found 300 near-collisions in the most recent year for which there were data.

"Over the last 10 years, that number has more than doubled. Incompetent air traffic controllers are a big part of the problem.

"Controllers tell pilots which runways to use, when to take off and land, and where to fly. If a controller gets it wrong, he can tell two planes to smash into each other, like a case from New Orleans this summer.

"A controller told the green plane coming in from the left to land on the same runway from which the purple plane was about to take off.

"The green plane aborted the landing and just avoided crashing into the purple plane.

"In July, a controller told an Allegiant Air Flight cruising at 23,000 feet to turn right into the path of another plane.

"Air traffic controllers work for the FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration, which is part of the Department of Transportation. Too many controllers are white. And so, in 2012, our black president, Barack Obama, ordered our Hispanic transportation secretary, Michael Huerta, to order the FAA to solve that awful problem.

"You see, if there aren’t enough blacks or women it is always because of malicious barriers. The very first sentence of the report says that the secretary 'made an historic commitment to transform the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) into a more diverse and inclusive workplace that reflects, understands, and relates to the diverse customers we serve.'

"The racism detectors found what they were looking for. White people – and Asians – were scoring too high on the controller aptitude test, called the AT-SAT. And they were getting better! 'More troubling, there is evidence that the percentage of people scoring 85 or higher on the AT-SAT in certain RNO classifications – that means 'race and national origin' – has been steadily increasing over the last three years at a higher rate than others.'

"White people were pulling ahead!

"Here is proof of racism: the percentages of various groups that scored 85 or better out of 100 on the AT-SAT. The previous three years had been grim.



"Look at those pesky whites. In 2009, 68 percent scored 85 or better, and in the next years it was 74 percent and then 78 percent. And look at blacks: poking along at 37 percent, 36 percent, and 38 percent. Asians were another disaster; in the previous two years, they had the audacity to score as high as whites.

"So, in 2014, the FAA ditched the AT-SAT – which it had used for decades – and told all the people who had scored 85 or better and were waiting for a job offer that they had to take a brand-new test, called the Biographical Assessment.

"This was an online personality test of 114 questions. It asked such things as: The number of different high school sports you played. The number of college credit hours you had in art, music, dance, or drama. Whether you had a job in any of the last three years. It was graded pass/fail, according to mysterious, never-acknowledged criteria.

"The first year of the new test, 28,000 people took it and only 2,200 passed. They were then invited to the FAA air-traffic control school in Oklahoma City. If you failed the Biographical Assessment, too bad. Imagine the fury of people who scored well on the AT-SAT but failed this fluffy, nonsense test. Most of them had gone through two- or four-year college-level air traffic training at 36 schools officially approved for affiliation with the FAA. Many had huge student debts. More than 2,600 top-scoring candidates – overwhelmingly white – were purged from the list of highly-qualified potential hires.

"According to this article, a number of veteran, working controllers took the test to see what it was like.

"They failed.

"But wait. There’s more. 'Black Union Lobbied For New Air Traffic Test, Then Helped Its Members Cheat On It.'

"There is something called the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees. It claims to be in the business of 'promoting equal opportunities.' We know what that means.

"The black coalition had been screaming loudly for the new test. The trouble is, the test couldn’t come right out and ask 'Are you black?' That would be too blatant. Instead, it asked about art and sports, and black test-takers might give the wrong answers. The Inspector General of the Department of Transportation found that the FAA fed the right answers to the black coalition, which fed them to black test-takers so they could cheat (and, of course, lie, if they had taken art and played no sports). It’s a crime to cheat on a federal exam or help someone cheat, but there was no punishment. This guy, Joseph Teixeira, resigned from the FAA, and the cheating scandal disappeared like the morning mist."

Many medical schools are going to Pass/Fail criteria on entrance exams and in grading during the first two years of medical school (when all of the core medical skills are taught).

This is having its effect:

"Association Between Resident Race and Ethnicity and Clinical Performance Assessment Scores in Graduate Medical Education "

Abstract

Purpose: To assess the association between internal medicine (IM) residents' race/ethnicity and clinical performance assessments.

Method: The authors conducted a cross-sectional analysis of clinical performance assessment scores at 6 U.S. IM residency programs from 2016 to 2017. Residents underrepresented in medicine (URiM) were identified using self-reported race/ethnicity. Standardized scores were calculated for Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education core competencies. Cross-classified mixed-effects regression assessed the association between race/ethnicity and competency scores, adjusting for rotation time of year and setting; resident gender, postgraduate year, and IM In-Training Examination percentile rank; and faculty gender, rank, and specialty.

Results: Data included 3,600 evaluations by 605 faculty of 703 residents, including 94 (13.4%) URiM residents. Resident race/ethnicity was associated with competency scores, with lower scores for URiM residents (difference in adjusted standardized scores between URiM and non-URiM residents, mean [standard error]) in medical knowledge (-0.123 [0.05], P = .021), systems-based practice (-0.179 [0.05], P = .005), practice-based learning and improvement (-0.112 [0.05], P = .032), professionalism (-0.116 [0.06], P = .036), and interpersonal and communication skills (-0.113 [0.06], P = .044). Translating this to a 1 to 5 scale in 0.5 increments, URiM resident ratings were 0.07 to 0.12 points lower than non-URiM resident ratings in these 5 competencies. The interaction with faculty gender was notable in professionalism (difference between URiM and non-URiM for men faculty -0.199 [0.06] vs women faculty -0.014 [0.07], P = .01) with men more than women faculty rating URiM residents lower than non-URiM residents. Using the 1 to 5 scale, men faculty rated URiM residents 0.13 points lower than non-URiM residents in professionalism.

Old Geezer: This study proved that minorities performed less well than others in clinical settings. So, what did the "unbiased experts" conclude? Yes you guessed it, they blamed those who assessed the medical residents! If you are Woke, you cannot ever admit that minorities could be less qualified than whites. If you do, then you are a bigot, maybe even be a NAZI sympathizer. Worse yet, you could be a conservative, even a Republican or Libertarian !!!!!!!!

Conclusions: Resident race/ethnicity was associated with assessment scores to the disadvantage of URiM residents. This may reflect bias in faculty assessment, effects of a noninclusive learning environment, or structural inequities in assessment.
