The Truth Isn't "abhorrent", It's Just the Truth

By Rich Kozlovich 

On March 11, 2021 a piece was posted by Frances Mulraney For Dailymail.com, a British news outlet, with this really large headline:  

Georgetown Law professor is fired after saying black students are 'plain at bottom of her class almost every semester' and her colleague is suspended for failing to correct her after they accidentally recorded their zoom chat. 

Not only was this professor fired, the person she was talking to, Professor David Batson, was placed on administrative leave.  Why?  There's going to be an investigation for his having the audacity of not "calling her out on her statements", or as the piece says: Her "abhorrent comments".

This piece was sent to my by one of Our Group, an e-mail group to which I belong with the following comments.

The one very obvious thing that apparently cannot be brought up, it's far too heretical, is the very real possibility that the professor isn't at all racist, isn't grading blacks worse because of racism, but is merely relaying accurate facts - facts which disturb her because it strongly suggests that blacks aren't getting sufficient education prior to entering law school, and/or that ones who aren't qualified are being accepted into the program anyhow.

In fact a number of studies have shown that this is a real problem in universities - that blacks with lower SAT scores and/or worse high school grades are being accepted into more difficult universities ahead of non-minority (and Asian) students with better scores, all to bow to the god of "diversity."  And that the mismatch in this regard sets those black kids up to fail and flunk out of college, where at a less rigorous university or one where they fit in better intellectually with the other kids (e.g., similar scores), they'd have a far better chance of excelling and graduating. 

But nope, none of that can be brought up when a professor dares to say that she's really disturbed that the few blacks in her class almost always wind up in the bottom of the class. When they find out, do the officials talk about what to do to tutor the kids?  Or question their own admission standards? Nope, of course not! Do they do an investigation to find out if the professor has shown any real signs of racism, or graded minorities unfairly?  Of course not!  Far easier to immediately blame the professor of racism even tho she displayed none, and just fire her! It's despicable.

So now, private conversations are just grounds for dismissal?  The fact of the matter is blacks are scoring poorly in all levels of education.  As a group they fail to attend school, and they fail to perform.  As a result, their early education is inadequate to prepare them to meet the requirements of real higher education, and all of that is a result of black culture, not racism. Unless that is you wish to call the actions of race hustlers racist.   

To offset that, and to make it look like teachers are doing their jobs, there's been public scandals showing blacks are being given passing grades, at least at the lower levels of education, and most likely the same practice is going on in "higher" education. 

The fact is black students are being inappropriately graduated from high schools all over the nation with inadequate reading or spelling skills, not to mention lacking math skills, because now math is racist, and here.  One teacher claimed going back to "in class teaching" is among other things, "racist".    

So why would we call someone racist for saying such things if what's being said is true?  If that's the case, and it is, why should someone be fired for saying many blacks simply aren't cutting it at Georgetown?  I certainly hope this woman sues the pants of Georgetown. 

 Here's  Thomas Lifson's piece on this, Georgetown University fires professor for violating a taboo on discussing Black academic performance saying:

As Paul Mirengoff noted, Dean Traynor does not say Professor Sellers is incorrect on the facts.  So, apparently, it is "reprehensible" to truthfully discuss the academic performance of Black students...at least in the tone of voice the recording reveals.  That is the definition of a taboo.

Unfortunately, this kind of insanity is playing out in virtually every American institution.  Medical Journal Forces Out Doctor For Questioning "Structural Racism" By  Jeffrey Cawood Mar 12, 2021 because he had the audacity for, "expressing a desire to ameliorate racial disparities and to better understand the concept of “structural racism,” but asking whether there might be a more productive term for it.  

That simple statement was considered:

 “a harmful podcast” that '“minimized the effects of systemic racism in health care and questioned its profound impact on millions of people across the county.”'  As a result becaues of "many in our physician community” who “expressed anger, hurt, frustration and concern” about a February podcast titled “Structural Racism for Doctors – What Is It?” 

The consequences of all this snowflake whining?  He was asked to resign.  

The truth is just the truth. It isn't unkind, it isn't racist, it isn't abhorrent.  It's just the truth and quite frankly, I don't care how their little feelings are hurt by the truth.  Maybe they just need to get a diaper.
