Back Porch Pondering

 

This morning, like always, I was tuned in to FOX NEWS on HULU (I no longer have cable) and heard that the mayor of NYC before he leaves office has done away with the GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM for public school children stating the following:  "IF ALL OF US CANNOT BE GIFTED AND TALENTED THEN NONE OF US WILL BE GIFTED AND TALENTED..."

Personally, I think this is the DUMBEST comment I have ever heard coming out of the mouth of a politician...  however, I would have expected this to have been voiced by bartender now Congresswoman AOC...

We want all our students to be MEDIOCRE...  no one should be stupid and no one should be smart...

HEY THERE MR POLITICIAN...  what about the STEM program?

Do you want to do away with that as well because only a few excel in those four areas?

AND...  while we are at it...  why not apply this same concept in sports, making sure we have no players that are any better than the average player...  boy, will that look good in professional sports...

WE ARE NOT EQUAL AND WE NEVER WILL BE EQUAL NO MATTER HOW HARD WE WANT IT TO BE SO...
