The dark side of bias in testing…

The average critical reading score fell from 508 to 503, while math dropped from 520 to 518. On the new SAT writing section, the class scored 497 on average, with girls scoring 11 points higher than boys.

The College Board lists three categories for Hispanic students. Scores for Mexican-Americans rose three points overall, Puerto Ricans’ fell two points and scores of students who identified themselves as “Other Hispanic” fell 11 points.

I want to know what our government is going to do about this clearly biased test? Are we going to continue disinfranchise Male - Other Hispanics by giving them such a limited opportunity for success? When will we cease this institutional oppression?

I call for quick and decisive intervention by Washington to correct this travesty of free-market minority abuse. It is the job of government to step in and bully private enterprise in order to give these people the advantage that the Supreme Court struck down in its rulings against preferential quota systems.

Federal law requires the government to approve or deny a citizenship application 120 days after an immigrant passes the exam.

It’s taking a lot longer than that for Yousuf Bhaghani, 35, who immigrated from Pakistan 17 years ago. Bhaghani, one of the 10 immigrants in the lawsuit, said he passed the citizenship exam in 2002, and has been waiting for an answer ever since.

“In my heart, I’m already an American in every way,” said Bhaghani. “Now I want to be able to fully participate as a citizen.”

This guy is as American as apple pie. What says America better than a good ole lawsuit? Let’s swear him in! In my book, he is 100% certified American now.

Seriously, why are we allowing non-citizens to sue our government, in our courts, for anything? They aren’t freaking Americans! American courts are for American citizens with American problems. If these wannabe Americans have an axe to grind with our government I suggest they contact their government for help. As far as I’m concerned, they can take a flying leap until they become US citizens. We owe them nothing.

I can fix this f-ing problem for them. How about we close our f-ing borders, and send their asses back to the third world until hell freezes over. I am sorry, but they are already here: they are paying taxes, using services, and living the American dream. Quit bitching, be patient, or get the f- out.

How we ever won two world wars is beyond me. Clearly we lost our balls in the last one or at a minimum our ability to use them.

WASHINGTON - President Bush declassified sensitive intelligence in 2003 and authorized its public disclosure to rebut Iraq war critics, but he did not specifically direct that Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, be the one to disseminate the information, an attorney knowledgeable about the case said Saturday.

The press is all over this latest witch hunt. Bush should be ashamed of the fact that he declassified material in order to support his position, but characterizing this as some kind of approval to reveal Plame’s identity is ludicrous.
