The Experiment of Political Correctness
By Tony Dalton
Do you know what happened in the class that never failed a student ~ in the
end they all failed!
As an experiment in true Political Correctness it was decided that all a classes grades
would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade, no one would
fail and no one would receive an A. Just as in School Sports today everyone
gets a trophy ~ win or lose.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The
students who studied 'very hard' were very upset and the students who
studied 'very little' were very happy.
For the
second test, the students who studied very little for the first test studied
'even less' and the ones who studied very hard for the first test decided
they wanted a free ride also, so they only studied just enough to satisfy
their parents.
Result - the second test average was a 'D'. for everybody
No one
was very happy with the result.
After the third test, and the relative removal of a reason to study, the
average was an 'F' for all.
In fact as the tests continued so the scores reduced, which of course
resulted in increased bickering, blame and name-calling, eventually leading
to hard feelings as, of course, no one bothered to study at all anymore.
Eventually the inevitable occurred, all of the students failed everything.
Could
this be the result of "Political Correctness" demanding "equality for all" except of
course for those who are "in charge" ~ which of course will always fail when
it becomes apparent that nobody can win, and therefore removes all incentive
to work or try, or even want to succeed.
Remember this my friends every time you go to vote.
