    I’m glad Democrats don’t run a nba team
    They would remove the requirement to score and dribble

    for a little more context,

    UC faculty push for return of SAT/ACT math testing for "STEM majors"


    Hundreds of University of California faculty members are calling on the university system to require standardized math test scores
    from applicants to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) majors.

    UC faculty members noted other universities have reinstated an SAT/ACT requirement. They include the MIT,
    Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University.​

    back in 2025, Texas's Gov Wheelie had sponsored the GOVERNOR’S UNIVERSITY RESEARCH INITIATIVE (GURI) to lure world-class reserachers to Texas institutions to conduct Nobel Prize-winning researh projects.

    since then, there has been no nobel prize-winning research projects for UT, while UC has won at least 12.

    While Texas is saddled with Wheelie's iniative to nowhere, UC is not satifisfied w the 12 Nobel Prize awards, striving for more.

    Merit should win -- always. For some reason, it wounds people when their race scores poorly on academic matters. They're fine when they are overrepresented in sports, entertainment, singing, etc. But whent hey are underrepresented in academics -- that's an insult or the result of a broken system? No, amigos!

    Underperformers should level up and improve themselves before complaining or asking for rules changes.


    GOOD DAY

    both of whom got in prestigious institutions (Wharton/Harvard) thanks to the donations by their fathers

    Trump is an "underperformer"?? Objectively, this is a ridiculous assertion. He's the most famous and influential person in the world. He's had hugely successful careers in real estate, entertainment (TV Show), and now politics. A tiny percentage of people have success in a SINGLE one of those fields -- he's done it in THREE. You obviously disagree with his politics, but there is no logical case that says Trump is an underperformer.

    This is just called TDS

    Biden can’t walk stairs and Harris can’t complete sentences
    This wasn’t a hard choice

    Exactly. Trump is the most successful politician in the world and Elon Musk is the most successful businessman/inventor in the world. And somehow the Democrats want us to think that Joe Biden (Dementia) and Kamala Harris (moron) have better ideas. This was an EASY CHOICE.

    yip, he was an indifferent student in high school, didn't have the grades to get into get into the university of his choice, Wharton,
    even w his billionaire Dad's help; had to settle for Fordham in NYC.

    after 2 more years of donations from his father, Wharton granted Donald admission.

    UC Berkeley students flunk ‘gentle’ course at shocking rates — professors blame AI

    https://nypost.com/2026/06/04/tech/...unk-intro-course-at-shocking-rates-due-to-ai/

    excerpt:

    Garcia also noted that students are now mathematically underprepared. He was one of 1,300 UC faculty that shockingly said in a letter they’ve been forced to teach “middle school” math in Calculus and other courses.

    They blamed a 2020 vote by the University of California Board of Regents to stop requiring SAT and ACT scores in admissions after lawyers representing low-income students argued the metrics were “racist.”
    citing this 2021 article:

    University of California to nix SAT, ACT in settlement with minority students

    Mainstream college has been watered down to a for-pay advanced high school. Colleges should be on the hook when students default on student loans. Liberals have convinced 2 entire generations to become debt slaves.

    This awful education system looks very similar to indentured servitude.





















    Feature Colonial Indentured Servitude Modern U.S. Student Loan Debt
    The Upfront Cost Transatlantic voyage (equivalent to years of wages for a peasant). Higher education tuition (now averaging $38,000 to $100,000+ total).
    The Exchange 4 to 7 years of unpaid physical labor. Years (often 10 to 30) of paying a portion of income to a lender.
    The Legal Trap Running away was a crime; contracts were extended for non-compliance. Except in rare, extreme circumstances, student loans cannot be cleared through bankruptcy.
    The Goal Upward mobility, land ownership, and a fresh start. Upward mobility, entry into professional careers, and financial security.

    Fine you agree with Trump's politics but please stop selling that the guy who told us to inject bleach is smart.

    He does have an a tremendous ability to self promote himself and that has resulted in taking over a political party that doesn't have anyone else able to do so
