15% of California high school students were admitted to UC Berekeley

Standardized tests exist for a good reason. A 4.0+ GPA is not the same at every school.

had a 45% acceptance rate to UC Berkeley, three times the normal rate.

It’s not education they want to give the yutes. It’s indoctrination.

So students will take remedial math and English classes, borrow exorbitant amounts of money to pay tuition, study a major that won’t be employable in five or six years if they even graduate, and complain about their student loans and how they should be forgiven.

In fairness they went to California public schools so they never had a chance.

Why would you assume that they won't just pass and graduate them from Berkeley, too?

Because it’s bad business Berkeley’s the crown jewel of the system. They can’t tie up that many seats for retards. What they can do is make everyone happy by accepting a ton of remedial students, which the liberal faculty eagerly tries to save, before the seat goes to someone in the northeast who gladly pays full sticker price.

Google says their senior class has 262 students. The article says 34 of its 76 applicants were accepted to Berkeley.

Time to freak out and demand answers.

My first kid is about to graduate college. My alma mater and I am proud. I have two younger kids in grade school. We aren't setting them on the same path Gen X kids were sent on. We aren't stressing good grades or getting into college. Instead, we are encouraging them to explore their interests. We aren't insisting that they have to go to college to be successful like our parents did.

Our model is to raise them up to find what they want to do by age 16 and encourage them to start a business or join a business doing that. Then they learn. It is kind of a journeyman model.

The biggest lie from 1995 or 1996 after tuition became unregulated in Texas was that you had to go to college to be successful. People had no idea back then that institutions of learning would become institutions comparable to major corporations without the restriction of tax liabilities or shareholder responsibility.

Or they’re passed through and work a public facing government job that they’re miserable at doing.

That means only 15 students in the entire class were at grade level in math. So at minimum, UC Berkeley admitted 19 students who couldn’t pass high school math. And this is just one school, 34 acceptances. Extend that to the 14,000 they hand out every year.

No wonder a few sane professors are starting to get fed up. Your post wasn’t the gotcha you thought it was…

OP, you’re kind of retarded too.

You’ve misspelled “Berkeley”, and you don’t understand how percentages work considering your description in your subject line.

DEI is the absolute polar opposite of a capitalist meritocracy. Based on a misguided sense of moralistic superiority it’s Communist devised strategy wreaks havoc in both the minds of simplistic “dupes and useful idiots “ and those who honestly labor to better themselves and the community, but also in regard to the functionality of the institutions and infrastructure which is the basis of complex civilization.

“Behold, there is a way which seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof is destruction”. Of course one could argue that a war-based strategy of defending or promoting absolutist Meritocracy principles devoid of mercy, against Marxist Egalitarianism attack could ultimately serve the same suicidal narrative and calamitous end. It’s pure Evil with narcissistic Greed on one side against entitlement-minded Envy on the other, with “wailing and gnashing of teeth” in a sanctimonious dogfight. A W for Lucifer.

As always, the ‘sweet spot’ where the power lies is in the center. The extremists on both sides have forced the whole political process into an ‘either v or’ struggle for power. It will likely be a painful experience getting back to the merciful but just Center.

Christians know that “only by Faith can one enter heaven”, but that “Faith without works is dead” as well. Truth.ultimately rules. Lord come quickly.
