White Civil Rights Is Science Racist? Liberals Want to Drop Science Classes

Is Science Racist? Liberals Want to Drop Science Classes

by Jeff Davis

One thing about science and math courses is that there’s no room for fakers. Either you know the material or you don’t. While liberal history or english professors can ignore massive spelling and grammatical errors and give generous grades to the quota-students for scribbling out some attempt at writing an essay. Math and science are not so forgiving. You either get the question right or you don’t. I guess that makes science “racist” since it frequently gives minorities poor grades.


Should we drop science classes since Blacks and Latinos don't do well?

An article from the East Bay Express tells us: “Berkeley High School is considering a controversial proposal to eliminate science labs and the five science teachers who teach them to free up more resources to help struggling students. The proposal to put the science-lab cuts on the table was approved recently by Berkeley High’s School Governance Council, a body of teachers, parents, and students who oversee a plan to change the structure of the high school to address Berkeley’s dismal racial achievement gap, where white students are doing far better than the state average while black and Latino students are doing worse.”

During poor economic times, public schools have been known to cut music, art and some sports classes. But cut science classes?

The liberal loons aren’t very good at thinking ahead. Well, frankly they never are. But if no one teaches the White kids science because it’s “racist”, how will our technical, medical, and engineering infrastructure be maintained 20 or 30 years from now? Are we supposed to import Hindu and Paki macacas to do all the technical jobs (ignoring a serious drop in competency that may result in airplanes crashing and the occasional nuclear reactor meltdown)? Or maybe these hippie retreads want us all to go back to the Stone Age? That actually seems to be a vague part of the liberal Agenda: Forcing Americans back onto bicycles and limiting everyone to 200 milli-watts of solar power. I really wonder how some of these left-wing fools would survive if they ever create the kind of world they seem intent on creating.

The article continues “Science teachers were understandably horrified by the proposal. ‘The majority of the science department believes that this major policy decision affecting the entire student body, the faculty, and the community has been made without any notification, without a hearing,’ said Mardi Sicular-Mertens, the senior member of Berkeley High School’s science department, at last week’s school board meeting…. The full plan to close the racial achievement gap by altering the structure of the high school is known as the High School Redesign. It will come before the Berkeley School Board as an information item at its January 13 meeting. Generally, such agenda items are passed without debate, but if the school board chooses to play a more direct role in the High School Redesign, it could bring the item back as an action item at a future meeting. School district spokesman Mark Coplan directed inquiries about the redesign to Richard Ng, the principal’s assistant at Berkeley High and member of the School Governance Council. Ng did not return repeated calls for comment.”

Well, that’s it. The lunatics are definitely running the asylum.

There’s an old saying that integration is like mixing horse manure and ice cream. The manure tends to dominate and the ice cream is pretty much ruined in the process. I remember in my old high school, the science lab was one of the few places where White kids could go on free periods and during lunch and not have to worry about being robbed or assaulted by the blacks. I more or less taught myself everything I wanted to know in the chem lab and the library. The integrated classes were simply a waste of time constantly interrupted by blacks talking, talking and talking in the back of the classroom.

Sooner or later, someone in politics has got to start speaking the truth. We can’t keep running around with our eyes closed to the facts. We’ve had two major car companies go bankrupt and no one will discuss how big a role quota-hires played in those disasters. (Car companies in Japan don’t undermine themselves by hiring and promoting large percentages of Latinos and Blacks by the way.) Meanwhile other big corporations are making the exact same mistakes as GM and Chrysler. And now our schools don’t even want to try teaching science because it’s too hard for the minorities to understand.
