UK: Grammar Schools Are ‘State-Sponsored Segregation’ That Stifle Chances for Poorer Children, Lib Dems Say
15th September 2018
In Britain, the LibDems (Liberal Democrats) are the mutant descendants of the former Liberal Party that shriveled away after the First World War when they were outbid for the Give Us Free Stuff vote by the Labour Party. They are periodically refreshed (and their name periodically changed) by defectors from the Labour Party who can’t persuade themselves that socialism actually works and by defectors from the Conservative Party who can’t bring themselves to risk getting social cooties from what used to be the upper classes.
Steve Sailer is fond of mentioning the odd American phenomenon that black people are always keen to get their kids into schools with a lot of white kids (and, necessarily, keen to keep their kids from schools that have a lot of black kids). He speculates that white kids have some sort of Magic Pixie Dust that, when added to black kids, make them more intelligent, harder working, and less behaviorally disruptive.
Apparently this Magic White Kid Pixie Dust belief has migrated across the pond to Britain.
