[extropy-chat] here's how complicated it is

[Al Brooks]

 Lee, your pessimism is probably justified. Here's how
complicated it is: when minority students are flunked,
their families and activists often blame not students
and schools but the larger society for oppressing the
students into flunking classes/sometimes dropping out.
So the dilemma is: if academic standards are raised
and grade inflation is reduced then not infrequently
the students in question, their families, and
demogogic activists blame society; 
But if the status quo is retained many students, many
families, and all taxpayers bear the consequences.
