Lucianne.com links to a column by David Marcus in The Federalist. Marcus writes about NYC Mayor De Blasio and the omnipresent AOC vocally unhappy at the underrepresentation of black and Hispanic kids in NYC’s elite high schools. Admission to these schools is by test scores alone, and as Marcus points out, Asians are vastly over represented making up 74% of the student body at Stuyvesant High.
What is clear is that Asian kids benefit from a pro-education home culture and a preponderance of two-parent homes. Less well known is that major Asian societies have rewarded test taking ability for hundreds of years; it is how the emperor’s elite civil servants were selected in imperial China.
Somewhere, the shade of author Kurt Vonnegut laughs uproariously, and waves a copy of his short story “Harrison Bergeron.”
