— Getting accepted to Chicago’s top colleges is harder than ever, new report says – Katie Galioto (DIERSEN: Do you have a degree from a top college? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that your degree is worthless if it is not from a top college, that is, that my degrees from NIU, Loyola, DePaul, and IIT are worthless. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. When Charles Bowsher took over GAO in 1981 and ran it for the next 15 years, his top priorities included hiring, retaining, and promoting those who had degrees from top colleges, that is, his top priorities included getting rid of GAO employees who did not have degrees from top colleges.)

DAILY HERALD
— Why wait? New DuPage board members already prepping for job – Robert Sanchez (DIERSEN: These “six freshman Democrats” will be under tremendous pressure from the Democrat Party to drive out of DuPage County individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. They will be under tremendous pressure from the Democrat Party to promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things. Kaczmarek will be under tremendous pressure from the Democrat Party to immediately fire all the non-Democrat employees in the clerk’s office and replace them with Democrats.)

The six, along with other county board members and countywide elected officials, won’t be sworn in until Dec. 3. . .Another Democrat — Jean Kaczmarek of Glen Ellyn — won her first elected position by defeating Republican incumbent Paul Hinds to become the next county clerk.)

WSIU
— Report says Illinois Higher Education is Separate but Unequal (DIERSEN: Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that instead of me, a) UIC should have admitted a minority in 1966, b) NIU should have admitted a minority in 1969, c) Loyola should have admitted a minority in 1972, d) DePaul should have admitted a minority in 1976, e) Roosevelt should have admitted a minority in 1980, and f) IIT should have admitted a minority in 1992.)
http://news.wsiu.org/post/report-says-illinois-higher-education-separate-unequal#stream/0

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce showed white students are disproportionately represented at selective public colleges, comprising 64 percent of freshman enrollment, even though they represent only about half of the college-age population. And in Illinois, report co-author Martin Van Der Werf explained, black students are severely under-represented at these schools. “Eighteen out of every 100 Illinois college-age young adults are black, but only about nine out of every 100 Illinois selective public college freshmen are black,” Van Der Werf said. “So their representation is only about half of their distribution of the population.” Latinos fare a bit better, accounting for 18 out of 100 freshman at Illinois selective public colleges, compared to 20 out of every 100 Illinois college-age young adults generally. Illinois State University, the University of Illinois Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are considered selective public colleges.)

My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors treated me like I was part of a plot to stop them from hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Democrats label Republicans ‘racist/bigoted/sexist’ as political divide intensifies – Valerie Richardson (DIERSEN: All the Democrats elected on November 6, 2018 in America will be under tremendous pressure from the Democrat Party to call Republicans White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. Which Democrats were elected on the November 6, 2018 ballot in your precinct? In my precinct it was Casten, Pritzker, Stratton, Raoul, White, Mendoza, Frerichs, Ellman?, Kaczmarek, Ozog, and Davenport. The aforesaid can count on me to sue them if they call me a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, or worse things.
