*It was not easy when I took it. (It had not yet been dumbed down in 1969) written examinations for Civil Service jobs. In fact, my friend and boss @OICC in Saigon, Bob Goodpasteur passed, got out, reapplied, flunked and the next time passed. Now we have some imbeciles in the federal government because they aren't required to do anything.
******************************
Let’s make our legislators and jurists and administrators treat all citizens equally. Bring back competitive *written examinations for Civil Service jobs. Let’s have meritocratic promotions in our agencies and corporations. Forbid public colleges accepting students by any other than academic criteria.
Let’s start treating people equally—a thing we have never done before.
And let’s accept unequal group outcomes as a natural feature of the world, which they surely are.
Then we can stop blaming them on ourselves, or on invisible swirling magic vapors of “racism” or “privilege.”
If we flipped the ideology once, why couldn’t we flip it again?
Would it help? It might.
