The battle over the admissions standards at New York City’s elite public high schools has heated up again. After having failed to change the standards last year, Mayor Bill de Blasio is back at it, this time with some backup from celebrity freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. As usual, their impassioned pleas about the lack of black and Hispanic students completely ignores that it is Asian, not white, students who would bear the brunt of the proposed changes. At issue is the fact that these hyper-competitive high schools consider only a test score in deciding admissions. This meritocracy has created some of the best high schools in the world. They would have you believe that wealthy white parents game the system by hiring expensive tutors, but while they might, it’s not working. In fact, wealthy white kids are not dominating this process at all. Yesterday Ocasio-Cortez had this to tweet: “68% of all NYC public school students are Black or Latino. To only have 7 Black students accepted into Stuyvesant (a *public* high school) tells us that this is a system failure.Education inequity is a major factor in the racial wealth gap. This is what injustice looks like.”Her math is correct, but what she fails to mention is that while Asian students make up only 15 percent of all students in New York, they are a whopping 74 percent of students at Stuyvesant, the school she references

Bernie Sanders is making lots of promises he will not be able to keep!
His appeal to America’s youth is understandable considering the failure of our current leaders as well as the nature of the expectations his policies create.
But, the historical record of socialism is dismal. And the dire financial condition of the country will not support his ambitious plans.
Taxing Wall Street and the rich sounds good but is likely to destroy jobs while providing only modest increases in revenue for the government.
And, by failing to be aggressive in challenging the Military-Industrial Complex that supports America’s imperial foreign policy, Sanders implicitly embraces the true agenda of the 1% that has done more to destroy this country than anything else... http://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=34789
The information in this book is surprising and can even seem far-fetched to the uninitiated; however, the information is accurate and well documented.
They continue: “Parts of the book criticize ‘Liberals’ in favor of ‘Conservatives,’ however the definition of ‘Conservative’ as used in this book should be interpreted to mean what today would be called ‘Libertarian’—and not what today’s common perception of ‘Conservative’ is as being represented by such individuals as Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Anne Colter, etc.—who the authors of this book would not like.”
Lundbaek says of Gary Allen’s New World Order-themed book: “‘NoneDareCall It Conspiracy’ by Gary Allen, is one of the booksrecommended by then Apostle Ezra Taft Benson while speaking during the April 1972 Church General Conference. As an endorsement, he wrote: ‘I wish that every citizen of every country in the free world and every slave behind the Iron Curtain might read this book.’ If anything more need be said it might be that this book is, according to Dan Smoot, an FBI agent during WW2, an assistant to J. Edgar Hoover, and close colleague of W. Cleon Skousen, ‘an admirable job of amassing information to prove that communism is socialism and socialism (a plot to enslave the world) is not a movement of the downtrodden but a scheme supported and directed by the wealthiest of people.’”
Allen’s book was made notable by the fact that the introduction to the book was penned by U.S. Congressman John G. Schmitz—who was also a member of the controversial John Birch Society. Schmitz’ words actually appeared shortly before the publication of NoneDareCall It Conspiracy in the form of a paper that Scmitz planned on circulating himself as well as sharing it with Allen for his book. That paper reads as follows: “The story you are about to read is true. The names have not been changed to protect the guilty. This book may have the effect of changing your life. After reading this book, you will never look at national and world events in the same way again.
“NoneDareCall It Conspiracy will be a very controversial book. At first it will receive little publicity and those whose plans are exposed in it will try to kill it by the silent treatment. For reasons that become obvious as you read this book, it will not be reviewed in all the ‘proper’ places or be available on your local bookstand. However, there is nothing these people can do to stop a grass roots book distributing system. Eventually it will be necessary for the people and organizations named in this book to try to blunt its effect by attacking it or the author. They have a tremendous vested interest in keeping you from discovering what they are doing. And they have the big guns of the mass media at their disposal to fire the barrages at NoneDareCall It Conspiracy.
“By sheer volume, the ‘experts’ will try to ridicule you out of investigating for yourself as to whether or not the information in this book is true.
tagwolf It's really sad to see from the comments that Fox News watchers are literally so brainwashed, that they think taxing the rich is a bad idea and that immigrants are to blame for all their problems. I'm so glad you guys are the minority.
My Reply:
Yes, tax the job creator class by 70 to 90% or whatever theft percentage you see fit and claim the moral high ground. The majority, maybe. And? The masses are slower than molasses. Look back on this comment from your socialist utopia turned dystopian future and tell me how you are doing. Will you even know that it wasn't as great as the generations before? Stack those trailers a hundred high and get ready player one as the singularity approaches. You mean illegal immigrants, right? Yes, they are very costly. Fuck Fox News, you, and your mother.
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s signature “Green New Deal” plan was drafted in a single weekend by a group of millennial staffers and environmental activists, according to the Democrat’s chief of staff.
Draft legislative text for “Green New Deal” legislation “was written over a single December weekend by the staff of the freshman representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and three like-minded progressive groups,” reads an article published in The New Yorker Thursday.
“We spent the weekend learning how to put laws together,” Saikat Chakrabarti, Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, told The New Yorker. “We looked up how to write resolutions.”
Young activists with the Sunrise Movement, Justice Democrats and the New Consensus joined Chakrabarti in drafting the text, according to The New Yorker. Chakrabarti formerly led the group Brand New Congress, which pushed for far-left candidates to run for office.
David Knight explains why push to end the Electoral College by Ocasio-Cortez & Hillary is dangerous.
Chakrabarti’s collaboration with environmentalists resulted in a Google doc, which lays out legislation to create a House committee to enact a “Green New Deal” — a grab bag of progressive policies aimed at global warming and all manner of social ills.
The document not only calls for the U.S. to completely get off fossil fuels within 10 years, but also calls for universal health care, basic income programs and job guarantees. The document also calls on the committee to recognize goals for “social, economic, racial, regional and gender-based justice and equality and cooperative and public ownership.”
Democrats have increasingly endorsed the plan, along with 2020 presidential hopefuls Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Cory Booker of New Jersey.

However, House Democratic leadership did not embrace Ocasio-Cortez’s proposal. For example, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi created a House climate panel, but did not give it full committee powers.
The stunt got major media attention and sparked the need for Chakrabarti and others to draft legislative text. He and activist allies had to at least spell out what a “Green New Deal” might look like.
Socialism VS Democratic Socialism | Why Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Just Doesn't Get It - VIDEO: DO ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ SUPPORTERS UNDERSTAND SOCIALISM?
Last month, 28 year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shocked the world by defeating incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley to earn the Democratic nomination in New York’s 14th Congressional District.
Ocasio-Cortez gained notoriety nationwide not just for her youth, but for her unabashed embrace of Democratic Socialism.
In her official platform, Ocasio-Cortez offers support for free college, “housing as a human right”, “medicare for all,” and a mandatory minimum living wage.
Wanting to know if her supporters liked the idea of Democratic Socialism, and if they’d support the government offering these services for free, I headed to Ocasio-Cortez’s district, in Astoria, NY.
People on the street were quick to offer support for Ocasio-Cortez’s brand of socialism, and overwhelmingly supported her vision for the district.
They were more hesitant, however, to offer ideas for how to pay for all of the free things that Ocasio-Cortez is promising.
“I don’t know where the money would come from, but they can figure it out,” one person stated confidently.
“Oh, God… Us, I guess,” conceded another.
One supporter seemed to think Americans would be okay with paying higher taxes, saying “with a good idea, and a good reason to spend their tax money, people wouldn’t actually mind paying more taxes.”
Another admitted that they’re not quite sure what it is that they like about Ocasio-Cortez’s economic philosophy, but insisted that “I just know that democratic socialist is better than conservative.”
