DAILY ILLINI
— Acknowledging my forefather’s harmful bigotry – JUDITH RACE (COMMENT: Soon, if not already, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs will demand that White male Republicans disclose everything that their forefathers did. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father fought brittle type 1 diabetes from age 14, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 he was 47 and I was 21 years old. My father’s parents and his grandparents operated a hardware store in Crete. My mother’s parents and her grandparents operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border.)

To give preference to those whose ancestors have not been America for a long time is to discriminate against those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. To give preference to non-German Americans is to discriminate against German Americans. To give preference to those who have less money than others is to discriminate against those who have more money than others. To give preference to those who have self-inflected health problems is to discriminate against those who do not have self-inflected health problems. To give preference to non-married people who have dependents is to discriminate against married people who do not have dependents. To give preference to Trump-haters is to discriminate against those who do not hate Trump. To give preference to those who are etc. is to discriminate against those who are not etc.)

EPOCH TIMES
— University of California Dumps SAT Test in Favor of ‘Equity’ – James Breslo
https://www.theepochtimes.com/university-of-california-dumps-sat-test-in-favor-of-equity_4125929.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades the University of California (UC) relied upon SAT test, as well as grades, to admit the highest achieving students into California’s best universities. Such standardized tests are ubiquitous in society, used in primary, secondary, and higher education, as well as for obtaining a license for most professions, or simply to drive a car. But the UC determined after much study that, as a group, whites and Asians score higher on the tests than “black and brown communities” (as the left calls them). It thus concluded that the test is inherently discriminatory and must be abandoned for the UC to achieve the goal of “equity” in its admission process. The UC faculty, through the “Academic Senate,” oversees the admissions process. It explained: “This decision, which is part of the ongoing effort by the university to advance educational opportunity and equity, was based on the view that these tests are biased because they systematically and unfairly reduce the likelihood that underrepresented and low-income high school students will be accepted to the university.” Yes, University professors, whom one would expect to be among America’s smartest people, concluded that a standardized test must be to blame for a community’s poor performance, rather than members of the community being less prepared. But the truth is, these professors are predominantly leftists, and this is the same flawed logic the left uses to argue that criminal laws are discriminatory when they are more often violated by a minority group. The UC ignores the most obvious explanation for the poor performance. African Americans (only 5.8 percent of California’s population), are far more likely to have been raised in a single parent home. As Senator Barack Obama noted, children who grow up without a father are nine times more likely to drop out of school. Latinos (39 percent of California’s population) are far more likely to have been raised by recent, legal or illegal, immigrants with less education and English as their second language. Further evidencing that it is not the test but the test-takers, the Academic Senate considered another test as a replacement. However, it determined that the so-called “Smarter Balanced” test resulted in the same “discriminatory” results! The truth is, the professors know the test is fair, they just do not care about the qualifications of the applicants. All they care about is “equity,” i.e., that racial and ethnic groups are represented in equal proportion. This leftist thinking ignores the individual in favor of the group. It shows no concern for the underlying reasons children from these groups are not doing better on the test. And, it ignores that not everyone in these groups are underprivileged, e.g., LeBron James’ kids, and that not everyone in white and Asian communities are privileged. Equity requires the end to Martin Luther King’s dream of equal treatment regardless of race. Equity requires that we look at race to ensure an “equal” outcome.)

— ‘You cannot overfund this’: Milton Township officials debate mental health spending – Katlyn Smith
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20211116/you-cannot-overfund-this-milton-township-officials-debate-mental-health-spending
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Township trustees and Supervisor John Monino tentatively agreed to raise property taxes by roughly $800,000 for the 708 mental health board, named for a state House resolution and created by a referendum vote last spring. A final decision on the tax levy is expected on Dec. 14. . .But township trustees were wary of allocating more money for the first grant cycle, though Monino said the board’s request wasn’t “out of line.” “I think that $1 million is a bit much right now,” said Trustee Jeff Castle, adding that he wanted to see what the board will do next year with the township funding. Trustees gave preliminary approval to a tax increase that would cost the owner of a home with an assessed value of $128,444 — the average in Milton Township — an estimated $17.60. The township covers all or parts of Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Lombard, Glendale Heights and Winfield. “It strikes the right balance between fiscal responsibility and providing for the needs of the community,” Trustee Dan Milinko said of the lower amount.)

— FEBRUARY 27, 2017 FLASHBACK: 10 Times You Should Take a Pay Cut – SUZANNE LUCAS (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $34,956/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $62,439/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious a) that I suffered a pay cut of only $20,361/year (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer and b) that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

Before they forced me to retire, they a) gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) did not promote me beyond GS-13, e) got rid of my mentor in 1987, f) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and g) forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Their adverse actions against made my education, work experience, professional certifications, and professional license worthless.)
