Well, if you are going to lower standards to let them in…you have to follow through.

This is what ‘equity’ in education looks like.

Everyone is supposed to be fairly evaluated against the same metric.

If you want to fix ‘injustice’, you need to start in kindergarten, not the 13th grade.

I thought it’s presented as the first example of heroic epic

It’s hard to be sympathetic when this situation was so obvious and preventable. This is what short term greed and irresponsible governance looks like.

Rapid slowing is also acceleration. The vector can be negative

You can’t limit acceleration. That would cripple accident avoidance

I would think it’s also against the spirit of the bill of rights, yet here we are in America, with secret courts reviewing secret surveillance and meta data.

So why even begin the match? The story would hold a lot more water if he boycotts from the outset

That’s an unfortunate acronym. The story kind of writes itself. Charging for training is worse than the unpaid internship.
