Podcast: Because of diversity criteria, Stanford University is not what it used to be

Here's an excerpt:

"Three, they were arrogant. One protestor blurted out that Justice Duncan probably could not have gotten into Stanford, as if their own puerile performance was proof of the school’s high standards of admission. That was obnoxious in addition to the fact that, as of recently, it may have become not so true. In July 2022, Stanford Law School announced that an uncharacteristic 14 percent of its graduates had flunked the California bar exam on their first attempt, a radical increase from past years. Four other California law schools—UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Irvine, and USC—had a higher bar pass rate."

The article went into great lengths about the shout down of Judge Duncan. It appears that the law school has a radical, unstable element. If a law school can't calmly discuss different points of view, it has problems. The National Lawyers Guild, a sketchy alternative to the ABA, encouraged the protest.

But Stanford is doing something about it

Stanford has promised to discipline the students involved and there is the threat of reporting the students to the California Bar. The Dean issued a blistering letter to the students outlining their lack understanding of free speech.

I thought Stanford's response was encouraging.

Test optional and even more affirmative action ruined colleges and denied deserving students of their rightful schools.

Sad state of affairs at Stanford. 17K students, 2.3K faculty, 16K administrative staff. What?

Rice University is calling the need for 1/3 of its admissions to be minorities from “underserved” communities, a matter of national security, which is ironic in considering the former President of the school flooded the campus with Chinese students. I think it’s safe to say that democrats are the threat to national security.

How is making education available to underserved communities a national security threat? Those people already live here.

I'd consider left wing radicals in positions of influence... Advancement to "top" universities, government, corporate roles, etc. to be a more of an existential threat than anything else. Look at what they did with COVID, imagine how they'd manage a more lethal pathogen or if an asteroid was on a collision course with Earth. In communist countries, they've been responsible for millions upon millions of murders, starvation, corruption, and so much more. The saddest part is as long as humans exist, radical left wing people will as well :(

Am I supposed to be insulted? I'm not a political person and certainly not a right wing Fox News guy, I just hate left wingers. As a non political person, do I want to live in Castro's Cuba or Stalin's USSR? Or Pinochet's Chile or Franco's Spain? Easy choice. I'll take having food, thank you very much.
