I’m starting to get really fed up with this dude:
This feeds directly into the pernicious “everybody is an immigrant” narrative, and why do we need this on our side when there’s enough of it on the other?
Also, what do we do with those who don’t pass? Strip away their citizenship and bring over better quality people? I fail to see the difference and the attitude of every open border fanatic out there.
Ridiculous idea!
Besides, most high school students — and most adult U.S. citizens would funk the written test, anyway,

Right, I couldn’t put my finger on it but that’s precisely it. The testing culture, that’s what it is.

I’m genuinely baffled that he grew up in Cincinnati and both had no understanding of and no respect for our culture. I know his classmates at Xavier were all into things he pooh-poohs like sports…and almost all grew up to be quite successful! John Cranley, the Cincinnati mayor who came before the idiot we have now, is a great example.
If this guy wins the primary for governor, I may consider voting for Democrats again. But I think if Yost blasts his braindead immigration tweet in TV ads for months on end, his fans will defect. Conservatives on twitter who used to love him have already turned against him, now it’s just a matter of getting that information to voters who haven’t heard about it.
“The testing culture”
I no nothing of his background beyond bits and pieces that I can’t be bothered to remember.
But a picture emerges of tiger parents who ‘motivated’ him by making him internalize the idea that nothing he did was good enough and why aren’t you studying, what do you mean you want to have ‘fun’ like those stupid, lazy, fat Americans!??!?
He’s been trying to prove his demanding parents right ever since…
Just a guess.
The concerning thing about these types like Vivek and company, they want to import the “Asian” model that you see in countries like South Korea and China where everything revolves around test scores, working, and studying. It’s a dream model for the rich elite. I mean 9-9-6 is a real model proposed in China where people work from 9am to 9pm 6 days a week. For children it’s the same but instead of working, it’s studying.
No wonder their populations are crashing and suicide rates are so high.
I respect a lot of the accomplishments of Musk and company, but allowing him to perform his social engineering experiments on the US population is concerning. Trump needs to reign these people in.
I have a friend who’s raising her children on this model because, she argues, she wants them to be successful. I’m extremely tolerant in my daily life, so I never say anything about this. But she always asks why my kid isn’t in any tutoring service and isn’t doing anything “academic” beyond school. I’ve tried gently to explain that I’m not raising her for the same role (and the same outdated, no longer existing economy) that my friend is chasing. The “I work 90 hours a week” is no longer a flex it was 15 years ago. To the contrary, it’s evidence that you are unsuccessful, behind the times. One doesn’t need to know theory to understand this. To many people it comes instinctively.
