Comment
The question for students to debate is why a supposed
communist country allows so many billionaires to rise up from poverty.
That's supposed to happen in the USA where a child growing up in deep
poverty (think Oprah Winfrey or Howard Shultz) became a multi-billionaires.
But is it also supposed to happen under communism? If
so, why?
One reason is that many billionaires can afford to pour lots of money into high risk ventures. When's the last time you heard about a high risk (think Silicon Valley) venture in Europe?

To the list of questions I would add "Do your talk about the Tragedy of the
Commons?"
The problem with open borders is somewhat related to the economic problem of
"The Sharing of the Commons" where giving everybody the right to use a free
resource leads to everybody losing that resource. At what point will allowing
billions of people share in the free medical care, free college, and other
scarce resources ruin it for everybody ---

Jensen's Comment
Most K-12 schools were probably doing better when I was a child than they're
doing today. The downhill slide is greatest in the gang-ridden schools,
drug-infested urban schools like Chicago and New Orleans. Throwing money at such
schools is not the answer until life at home recovers.

The age-old question of when and how to assign low grades. Ingrid did not ask
when to pass brain surgeons or bridge designers versus poets and artists. Today
we might ask about what to do with police academy students who do not take
learning about race relations content seriously? Ingrid also did not ask the
question of whether grades motivate learners or whether a majority of students
taking courses for pass-fail grades learn as much course content as learners
getting grades A,B,C,D, or F. There's also a huge issue of how to deal with
students who do not even try to learn in course content, an issue dealt with
somewhat in the above video.

Political views vary by discipline. Gross and Simmons found the highest concentrations of conservative faculty in business and health sciences (25 percent and 21 percent respectively). Computer science and engineering have a high proportion of moderates (78 percent) with a symmetrical split of liberals and conservatives (11 percent each).
These disciplinary differences matter, because students are not uniformly distributed across the disciplines. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the two most popular majors are business and health sciences — the same fields with the highest concentrations of conservative faculty members.
Continued in article
Jensen Comment
The above article tries to make a case that academe is not awash in liberal
bias. However when the most conservative faculty by discipline are 25% and 21%
conservative it's pretty difficult to make a strong case that conservatives are
not in a small minority in all of academe.

One of the common mistakes in statistical and analytical analysis is to draw
conclusions that are not suitably stable under slight variations of underlying
assumptions. These mistakes are aggravated by making assumptions that are
themselves highly questionable. Such mistakes are especially common in hostile

An update on the Harvard case on race in admissions (of Asian Americans)
A federal appeals court in Boston heard arguments on Wednesday in a case that has challenged Harvard University’s consideration of race in admissions and that could have wide implications for affirmative action at selective colleges because it is expected to go to the U.S. Supreme Court. A recap: Harvard was accused by Students for Fair Admissions, or SFFA, of discriminating against Asian Americans in its admissions process. Last year a federal district judge in Boston ruled for Harvard, saying the university’s consideration of race in admissions was constitutional. But the judge also ruled that SFFA had not proved that Harvard admissions officers held any racial animus, nor did it present an Asian American applicant who should have or would have otherwise been admitted to Harvard. SFFA appealed that ruling, and made its case anew on Wednesday. Our Nell Gluckman has the highlights.
Tax, Class, Women, and Elder
Care ---
https://digitalcommons.law.seattleu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2634&context=sulr
Elder care is a large and growing sector in the comprehensive health care system in the United States. It is an issue of particular importance to women because women live longer than men, have higher incidences of degenerative ailments, and are more likely to be institutionalized. Women also face greater financial challenges in funding their health care maintenance. Whereas wealthy individuals enjoy a multitude of elder care choices and can even self-insure to avoid the steep expense and risk of long-term care insurance, most women do not possess the resources to exercise such a wide degree of choice. Middle-income women increasingly feel the squeeze of concurrent rises in medical and housing costs and must often engage in contingency Medicaid planning. Low-income women, particularly those who are single, living in rural areas, or members of an ethnic minority, have few viable health care options and are the most likely to be herded into institutional care facilities. Nursing homes carry high costs and often do not offer high-level or personalized care. Current tax policy, however, is structured to favor institutional care. Conspicuously lacking are adequate subsidies to facilitate home-based options and meaningful support for caregiving labors, both key factors that contribute to the dearth of care options for our poorest citizens. The tax system is in dire need of modification to address this exploding elder care crisis, requiring explicit acknowledgment of the need to generate revenues dedicated to fulfilling our public commitment to the basic welfare of this rapidly growing cohort of the American population.
