even if they all voted for republicans

thats fucking scummy

OK NVM , 98k were registered, 58k actually voted

Are we pretty girrs

i reckon its a 50/50 rbg is dead

I like how male doctors and surgeons are like 25 in movies or shit

In their primes it’s kind of funny

@Maddie, I think we've established that 0.69% is well within the margin of "administrative error" for government

I used to be a doctor like you, Until I took plot convenience to the knee

Personality test: You need to have brain surgery to live, do you want the Doctor that was allowed into Med School and passed in order to keep up quotas or the Best Neural Surgeon in the (City/State/Nation)?

I'll be interested to see how many of those who registered or voted actually committed fraud. I'm sure there are many who will monitor them closely to keep the Texas government honest.

Khan, no one makes it through a neurosurgery residency who isn't the best of the best, regardless of medical school admissions.

Remember that in order to practice as a physician in the US, you have to not only get into medical school but also pass medical school, gain admittance into a residency, and then complete that residency. You then have to pass a battery of examinations that are standardized.

If you want to specialize you then have to gain admittance to a fellowship, complete that fellowship, and then pass even more exams.

that is true, affirmative action only helps you get into uni

it doesnt help you graduate

So trust me, no one is using affirmative action all the way into neurosurgery.

@DrYuriMom I know that, this is a personality test used to sniff out bigoted hypocrites.

affirmative action is still a huge problem

So my answer is that I don't give a flying copulation what that person did in high school or bachelor degree. I care how they did in residency and fellowship.

If a person got into medical school on affirmative action but then rocked med school, completed residency with flying colors, and on that performance got into a fellowship and completed it while passing their boards - I'm game for that. I'm more concerned about experience and track record after they start performing on their own. Nothing stops a Harvard valedictorian from becoming an alcoholic later in life. I'm more worried about that than i am about what grades someone got five levels of training ago.

But yes, insofar as affirmative action starves a profession of the best possible practitioners, it is a problem. I am more inclined to improve our success at readying people to create or take opportunity than I am with rationing opportunity.

If we have to stack the deck after high school, it means we failed in primary and secondary school.

I am very aware of hypocrisy and I avoid it at all costs. I cannot both be horrified at the abuses of the Japanese medical education system and then passively accept thumbing the scales in the US.

Japanese women have been wronged, as have Asian Americans.

So here's a question that will make the fur fly, but it really gets to the heart of the matter.

How do we fix US primary and secondary education? Or does anyone here believe it isn't broken?

How do our Canadian and Europeeps feel about their own systems?

By not pretending like everyone needs to be equally represented in every institution

and letting people who are naturally good at things excel at those things

US education is fucked because of decentralised populations

hard to have stellar institutions in every county

My family is in education, and one thing they keep telling me is that across the board, black students generally don't give a **** about school.

And if you want better education you're gonna have to pay more

Japan has it down imo

They make you earn your education

But they still thumb the scales

But their cultural traditions go back thousands of years in that regard

Exactly

They weren't poisoned by this neo leftist garbage
