Mr. Identify politics speaks.

Identity politics are important. I wish we lived in a society where we didn’t need them but we don’t live in that society. So they’re necessary and certainly nothing to dislike or disparage. They should be encouraged.

Well, qualified is all relative to the qualifications. If you lower them, then more people will qualify.  You good with that?

No I am not good with lowering qualifications. Pretty much ever. One of my biggest problems with leftists.

This isn't going to work to close the wealth gap.  The wealth gap is a product of culture and education.  That needs to be addressed first.

Some have altered their admission standards, which I generally disapprove of. To the best of my knowledge none have lowered the standards for getting degrees, which is really the only important factor to consider. If you have contrary information by all means please educate me.

Identity politics suck and are unnecessary. We need to prioritize people to identify as Americans first and foremost.

Yeah, we’re looking for the best and brightest when the key lobbyists for physicians is rejecting meritocracy.  

“The commonly held narrative of meritocracy is the idea that people are successful purely because of their individual effort,” the AMA states. “Medical education has largely been based on such flawed meritocratic ideals, and it will take intentional focus and effort to recognize, review and revise this deeply flawed interpretation.”

I’d rather have Gordon Lightfoot as my mayor, but she’s OK. 

 

Lori Lightfoot ousted by voters.  Did not even make it to the finals.

Good for Chicago as they desperately needed a change. 

[RLLD 4,201]

I think Chicago should enjoy some improvement with the removal of Lightfoot.  UNLESS.....those who replace her maintain those same leftist policies.

What Chicago needs is to bulk up their law enforcement and criminal justice infrastructure, to include maybe building a jail, and get the problems out of the city and into incarceration.

But then create a system where people can redeem themselves, can work to improve themselves and achieve self-improvement and then let them back into society with the rest of us.

That could be a good start.  Something certainly needs to change.

Apparently the Black guy is a Beetlejuice clone, only male. He's pro-BLM and wants to Defund the Police even more so.

Of course she is.  She may be an idiot when it comes to policy and management, but she still has political acumen.  These are the GO TO elements to pretend away her own failure, and flip the onus from her to the people....whom she hates....

If she had NOT done this I would have been surprised.....standard leftist tactics.

She had liberal priorities though. She only pulled police off the streets because she herself wanted her block to be guarded along with movie makers film crews. 

I think we can all agree on who is really important in these cities.

They kill each other in Chicago.

Homicide is the leading cause of death among young Black men, and contributes significantly to the shortened life-span of the Black male. In over 85%% of the cases, the Black victim was killed by another Black, and about 52% of the murder victims were acquainted with their assailant.
