    War on Asians

    Best high school in America, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, is closing down because there are too many Asian students

    Since race-blind merit-based admission is based on test results and the tests result do not follow racial correctness, 61% of the students there were Asians. They are moving to admission by lottery, which is basically the same as to close down the brand name of TJHSST.

    The main function of premier math-heavy high schools is to prevent children with borderline Asperger from being bullied by their classmates. Tests that require Olympiad-level math skills is the ideal way to gather them all together. If you put random people from the street together with autists and other math-crazy people, the former will beat up the latter, but you can't explain that to the lilac-haired horde.

    The Dalton School, one of the most prestigious private schools in Manhattan ($54000 tuition per year, obviously most students are white), is experiencing a race meltdown.

    Dalton teachers are revolting, and have issued a set of demands to the school:

    "The demands for additional staffers alone would add
    millions of dollars to Dalton's annual budget. Siphoning
    off 50% of donations would dry up funding. Eliminating AP
    classes (referred to as "leveled courses") would destroy
    college admissions. It's not an exaggeration to say these
    demands, if implemented, would destroy Dalton
    altogether. According to insiders, much damage has already
    been done."

    The effect of these demands will be completely opposite: money from donations normally go to sponsor black students. Now there will be half as many of them.

    "Transgender activism is failing. Badly."
    https://www.commentary.org/abe-g…

    "And the numbers reveal a much saner country than you might infer from observing media and politicians. Not only do majorities in every age category believe that one’s sex is locked in at birth, but most Americans are opposed to trans females competing against biological females at every level of athletics—from youth sports (62 percent) to the pros (65 percent). Sixty-eight percent of respondents are against access to puberty blockers for children aged 10 to 14 and 58 percent oppose hormonal treatments for trans teens aged 15 to 17. Large majorities believe it’s “inappropriate for teachers to discuss trans identity in elementary schools.” For kindergarten through third grade, 77 percent are against it; for fourth and fifth grades, 70 percent are against. A slim majority (52 percent) support such discussion in middle schools and a full 64 support it in high schools."
