Affirmative action mismatched Black students into schools they couldn’t compete in, which raised washout from the majors and licenses that actually pay. Sander’s 2004 law school data showed admits well below the median producing worse grades, higher bar failure, and higher dropout than the same students at schools where...

Leftists always push the policies and get the 100% predictable result of when you lowered expectations and standards for a tethered demographic. Like a racist self fulfilling prophecy they only confirms their bias.

Civil Rights handed public schools the impossible task of educating an 85 IQ population using the curriculum of a 100 IQ system, and achieving identical results as the 105 IQ majority population. Half of an 85 IQ population is below the minimum level than can function in a education system for 85-115 IQ. The Army will not recruit anyone below 82 IQ. Everything that has happened since then is a direct result of this impossible task becoming top priority. The effort culminated with the insane concept that it is not black low intelligence, but white racism at fault. This was accompanied by the rapid lowering to an 85 IQ curriculum for everyone.

Yale Medical School caught by the Justice Department discriminating against White Student admissions The Civil Rights Division found Yale's leadership intentionally selected applicants based on their race, excluding white students Black students were 29x more likely to be admitted “The DOJ says the school discriminated based on race in its admissions process. It's claiming admissions data shows that Black and Hispanic applicants were admitted with consistently lower academic qualifications than white and Asian applicants” Here’s what I found A year long investigation into Yale School of Medicine’s admissions by the DOJ concluded that Yale intentionally discriminated on the basis of race in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Yale’s leadership used a “holistic review” process (and racial proxies) to continue favoring Black and Hispanic applicants while disadvantaging White and Asian applicants with stronger qualifications Black and Hispanic applicants were admitted with consistently lower GPAs and MCAT scores than White and Asian applicants - Black students had a median GPA of ~3.88 and MCAT in the 95th percentile - Asian students had 3.98 GPA and 100th percentile MCAT; White students similar to Asians - But the black students were admitted Black applicants had up to 29 times higher odds of getting an interview than an equally qualified Asian applicant with similar credentials Keep in mind, this is for medical school.

Malcolm Gladwell revealed why you shouldn't go to Harvard: 1. America does not have a shortage of students who want science and math degrees. It has a shortage of students who finish them. Half of all high school seniors who intend to study STEM drop out by the end of their second year. The problem is not interest. It is persistence. 2. The obvious assumption is that smarter students persist longer. So Gladwell tested it. At Hartwick College, a small liberal arts school in New York, the top third of math SAT scorers took the majority of STEM degrees. The bottom third dropped out in large numbers. The data seemed to confirm it. Smarter kids stick around longer. 3. Then he looked at Harvard. The bottom third of Harvard's math SAT scores are equal to the top third at Hartwick. By the logic above, everyone at Harvard should graduate with a STEM degree. They are all brilliant. Nobody should be dropping out. 4. Harvard showed the exact same pattern as Hartwick. Top students graduated. Bottom students dropped out like flies. Even though the bottom Harvard students were objectively brilliant by any global standard. Something else entirely was driving the dropout rate. 5. That something is called relative deprivation theory. Human beings do not measure themselves against the world. They measure themselves against the people immediately around them. A Harvard student in the bottom third does not think I am in the top one percent of all students globally. They think that kid next to me keeps getting everything right and I keep getting it wrong. So they quit. 6. The research from UCLA puts a specific number on it. Your odds of graduating with a STEM degree fall by two percentage points for every ten point increase in the average SAT score of your peers. Choose Harvard over the University of Maryland and your chance of finishing a STEM degree drops by thirty percent. Thirty percent. Just to put a brand name on your resume. 7. Relative position matters more than absolute position when it comes to confidence, motivation, and self belief. The eightieth percentile student at Harvard looks up at the people above them and feels like they cannot compete. The number one student at a state school feels like they can conquer the world. That feeling drives everything. 8. The practical hiring implication is radical. Class rank matters more than institution name. Gladwell argues companies should have a don't ask don't tell policy for where someone went to college. Hiring only from top schools means missing the top students from every other school. That is not smart hiring. That is brand worship. 9. When choosing a college, never go to the best school you get into. Go to the school where you are guaranteed to be near the top of your class. Being a big fish in a smaller pond does not just feel better. It statistically produces better outcomes than being a small fish in the most prestigious pond available. 10. So why do we keep choosing Harvard over Maryland? Because we are flattered. Because the acceptance letter feels like validation. Because we make an irrational decision in a moment of enormous flattery and call it ambition. Gladwell's conclusion is simple and brutal. When we have the chance to join an elite institution we do things that are genuinely against our own interest and we feel great about it the whole time.
