Progressive thinking in Berkeley....

The Berkeley, California schools have proposed ending many science courses and labs in order to narrow achievement gaps between whites and non-asian minorities. No, I am not making this up. So not only are "progressive" teachers and parents effectively telling blacks and hispanics (many of them children of professors) that they can't hack it in a basic high school chemistry lab (I call that "bigotry"), they're telling ALL of their students that....

....if they have dreams of attending, say, the University of California at Berkeley, they're going to need to (no matter how well they've done otherwise) spend a few semesters at a community college getting the science courses they weren't allowed to take in high school.

One would figure that the home of one of the nation's premier research universities would have residents capable of thinking through the consequences of doing this, but apparently not. And yes, I am perfectly willing to suggest that this may say something about what amounts to "cutting edge research" at the flagship campus of the Cal system.

I'd have to guess they've been studying logic with the Chicago Police Department....
