I totally agree! The father really is a total lame ass pussy! But you gotta admit that the fight scene was entertaining and so they had to keep the pussy alive even when things went way beyond absurd. Actually that's part of what makes it so funny.

Fact: Some racial groups get better grades than others.
Solution: Get rid of grades.
Problem: How do you know who is actually learning?

There Is No Apolitical Classroom
Anti-racism is racism. The ideologues pushing anti-racism are pushing a dysfunction worldview. It's a recipe for social collapse. Education is being replaced with indoctrination and it's indoctrination into a self-destructive ideology which is doomed to fail. The libtard elite are so out of touch with reality that they have no clue of the many fundamental flaws of the ideology they are pushing. One of them even used the term "racist ass principal" to assert that schools as they currently exist are racist institutions. Nothing could be further from the truth. Schools might not be perfect, but they are most definitely not racist.

This is why we can't have nice things
Companies that sell textbooks do the same thing as described in this video. They introduce "new" materials which are supposed to boost student performance (but which really don't) and then convince states to mandate that their "new and improved" materials be required in every school. They charge ridiculously high prices for their materials and planned obsolescence is built into the product through the cyclical introduction of "new" approaches, methodologies, and content which they claim provides further improvements to the curriculum. None of the materials ever actually constitute a true improvement, but lots of fake "research" is used to prop up the false claims and gullible people tend to be convinced by the phrase "the research shows." It works every time! Of course, the new curricular materials never actually boost student performance, but that problem is always blamed on other factors, most notably teachers and teachers unions. Some things never change.

Some Things Never Change - They Stay The Way They Are
The way the light bulb companies conspired to limit the useful life of their products made me think of this old Neil Young song called "Opera Star." Not only does it contain the line shown above, but the words "fucked up" are also included in the lyrics. It truly is really fucked up how textbook companies over-charge for materials which really aren't all that good and then blame the teachers when no improvement is seen. That is the epitome of fucked up and I'm sure there are plenty of teachers and members of the public who buy the bullshit hook, line, and sinker!

Dinesh D'Souza Responds to Leftist Harvard Mathematician Who Says In Some Cases 2+2=5
The least racist thing in the universe is math. The problem is that not everyone is genetically equipped with what it takes to be good at math, just like not everyone is genetically equipped to be good at basketball. Most people win the genetic lottery in some area, but few win the genetic lottery in multiple areas.

Well if math is racist, then so is the sun, the moon, the wind, and pretty much everything else!

Why math class needs to change | reTHINK TANK
The conclusion reached at the end of this convincing video is that statistics should be taught in high school and that calculus can wait until college. Lots of good reasons are provided.

Curb Your Perceived Intelligence
Notice how the most out-spoken person in this group was also the person with the lowest IQ. She was able to bluff her way into a high group rating, but when the hard data came out, she was at the bottom. Notice how she shakes her head at the end. Not only does she have the lowest IQ in the group, but she is eleven points behind the next lowest person!

Strangers Rank Their Intelligence Is KARMA
Apparently smart people often aren't all that smart. There are plenty of stupid PhDs floating around, particularly in certain fields and sub-fields. The lady in this video has a PhD in Cancer Biology and although there are lots of smart people with PhDs in biology, the problem with biology is that sometimes the focus is on memorizing all sorts of stuff instead of problem solving and pattern recognition. The same can be said of software development. Just because someone is a computer programmer doesn't mean they're smart. Some are and some aren't. Even medical doctors are like that. Some people have a talent for memorizing lots of stuff and so they appear smart. Some people are verbally proficient, but not conceptually intelligent. The thing about IQ is that it's the most reliable statistic known to psychology. The problem with EQ (emotional intelligence) is that it's just a propaganda tool developed to socially pressure people to conform to group norms. Not everyone knows that and there are lots of dumb people out there floating around who take EQ seriously. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb!
BTW, PewDiePie almost certainly has an IQ in the 120 to 140 range. He's very smart and talented. As for the lady whining about dyslexia: She almost sort of has a point, but not quite!
