UC Won't Consider SAT, ACT Scores in College or Scholarship Applications under Settlement Agreement



R.C.: Gee, why is this?

N.S.: UC's commissars wanted to lose this case. Was it you, RC, who spoke of shakedown lawsuits that bureaucrats invite, because they have no intention of fighting them?

I've mentioned it before here,my local paper--the Grand Rapids Press--as a tradition for decades,would print the SAT scores in the spring for every school district in West Michigan.It was broken down into individual schools within each district.

It became a source of hilarity to me when I would compare the black dominated school's results to the White ones(many of them outside of Grand Rapids,in little farm-like communities.

If I remember correctly there were two parts to the SAT,math and reading/writing--and the black's test scores of the two were so far below White's test scores,that anyone looking for evidence of White superiority over blacks was given page after page of it.

Sample comparison:
Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills(ghetto school)650
East Grand Rapids(White school)1450
Creston(ghetto school)710
Zeeland High School(small suburban city)1480

Then there were the alternative schools for blacks who needed "special help" to learn how to sign their names(getting tougher and tougher as they came up with 12 letter monikers (e.g.Lackadasious)or more--their scores were often below 500!!!

Some years ago(7 or 8?),the Press stopped printing these results.I do recall one "experiment" that took place in the last couple years of SAT results being printed,was the idea by certain black "experts" in schooling,that the reason for huge and consistant disparity in SAT scores between Whites and blacks,were the schools and the teachers themselves.

In this experiment--and I remember it well--black students were transferred to a high test score White school--and the White students took the place of the blacks at their school.This scenario would show that the only thing holding blacks back from high SATs--was the environment of bad schools and lousy teachers.Instead,the result of the study showed a huge decline in SATs at the White school--because of the black factor being mixed in.I do not remember offhand the effect of Whites studying at the black school.The experiment was deemed a failure and discontinued.

I guess Obama put an end to such information that indicated how consistently poor blacks were in school,but I miss reading those particular statistics every year about this time.They were eye-opening.

WHITE COP IN NORFOLK FIRED BY BLACK POLICE CHIEF

(Breitbart)Norfolk, Virginia, police Lt. William Kelly was fired from his job days after it was revealed that he donated to a fundraiser benefitting Kyle Rittenhouse.

Fox News reports that Kelly “was only roughly 10 months from being a 20-year veteran of the department” when he was fired. The Associated Press indicated Norfolk city officials said Kelly was “relieved of duty.”


The firing left Kelly scrambling to find health insurance for his cancer-stricken wife.


He also has to provide for his three children.

Kelly’s donation to the Rittenhouse fundraiser included a message: “God Bless. Thank you for your courage. Keep your head up. You’ve done nothing wrong. Every rank-and-file police officer supports you. Don’t be discouraged by actions of the political class of law enforcement leadership.”

After being fired, Kelly told Fox News, “I thought I was a free man in America expressing his personal opinion to somebody, giving some words of encouragement and making a simple donation.”

GRA:What the article doesn't mention,is WHO fired him.Let me supply that information,which the author of the article didn't think was important enough--blackie,Larry D.Boone is the Norfolk police chief.

The writer--an AWR Hawkins"is an award winning Second Amendment columnist for Breitbart"--says Breitbart.

I don't see how Hawkins could win ANYTHING when he omits relevant information that I just quickly gathered.The question is,why not disclose the race of the police chief?

Is Norfolk VA a Safe Place to Live? Based on annual FBI reports, Norfolk is considered as one of the most dangerous cities in Virginia, together with Portsmouth, Richmond, South Boston, and others. Generally speaking, however, Virginia is considered one of the safest states in the country.
