Harvard Is Important

 ... certainly more important than the poor devils in Baltimore. For the Harvard president, we look the other way when she can't figure out that calling for the genocide of the Jews is wrong after she got her position through plagiarism. For the kids in Baltimore, we gundeck their test scores and shove them through the exit when they age out of school.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Multiple Baltimore high schools changed more than 12,500 failing grades to passing over a several-year span, according to the findings of an audit released Tuesday by the Maryland Office of the Inspector General for Education.

The report was the product of a three-year review of grading procedures within Baltimore City Public Schools, which was launched in response to complaints about students being promoted despite poor academic performance and allegations that teachers were pressured to change grades.

Because the kids getting jobbed in Baltimore are black, no one feels safe telling the truth about them.

Its findings were based on a combination of documents, including emails exchanged by district and school staff, and interviews with educators and administrators, some of whom the auditors' say were reluctant to speak out of fear that it could cost them their jobs.

"A culture of fear and a veil of secrecy affected the BCPS system and kept many from speaking freely about misconduct," the report states. "Regrettably, these actions delayed the completion of this investigation and hindered the truth-seeking process."

So Claudine Gay is praised for breaking a glass ceiling, whatever that means these days, and keeps her job after blowing up the school's reputation because ... because ... well, we all know why, but I won't say it. No one feels safe telling the truth.

Exit Question

What can you say about the moral calculus that defends the Harvard president because she's black, but blows off the futures of thousands of black children, all in the name of racial justice?

The problem with trying to create an impersonal system for evaluating persons is that it is still persons inputting the supposedly impersonal items of measure into the system ... and the persons in control of a system *always* find a way to game the system to their own advantage.
