Excellent video by Prager. A must-see.
Regarding the student accepted to all the Ivy League schools. I read this last week, and the first thing that popped into my head was “Why would someone who must be so clearly outstanding bother applying to all of them, wasting those application fees”. The second was wondering if this achievement by a student whose parents immigrated from Ghana is actually a story about how much easier it is to get accepted if you not only are one of the many excellent student applicants, but also are judged by a different set of admissions criteria.
It’s not “higher” education, but the Discovery Channel has cancelled a show on bad teachers who have sex with students – under pressure from teachers’ unions.
“Bad teachers – coming soon to a school near you!”
Excellent aggregation well sorted. I’m impressed.
