What Are the Best Schools in the Kansas City Metroplex?
By J. Randolph Swope
Short answer: there are none.
While Pembroke Hill was long considered the quintessential WASP school of Kansas City, it has succumbed to the pressures of Cultural Marxism. Through massive affirmative action, 23% of the student body is now minority. In short, my friends, Pembroke Hill is going ghetto. It's not worth the money.
And what about minorities? While North Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans) are not a problem - in fact, they're usually great students - blacks and mestizos will inevitably bring down the quality of a school. Yes, despite all the propaganda you've heard, racial differences in IQ do exist.
As Robert Weissberg notes in Bad Students, Not Bad Schools, only a small percentage of a school has to become black before the school begins to decline academically.
It's odd that school administrators are bending over backwards to promote diversity, when the largest study ever done on diversity shows that racial diversity destroys institutions.
While many public school districts in the Kansas City area were at one time exceptional (e.g. Blue Valley, Shawnee Mission, Park Hill, Lee's Summit, etc.) all these have the same Trojan Horse: apartment complexes. These apartment complexes are now the landing pads of blacks and mestizos fleeing from the inner city, bringing multiple problems to these school districts. Not to mention that many public school educators are idiots who are more interested in promoting political correctness than knowledge. (Read the outstanding blogger EdRealist for documentation.)
There are some religious schools, but many of these are run by fundamentalist wackos who seem more interested in reducing their inclusive fitness in adopting Haitian children than quality education. Not to mention many are hostile toward Darwinism, the greatest politically incorrect discovery of our age.
What schools offer a traditional WASP curriculum? I mean a Euro-centric curriculum, High Culture, Advanced Mathematics, Science, Darwinism, Latin, German and French, et al?
The answer: Homeschool. Sadly, that may now be the best school in Kansas City.
And before you begin in the comments to call me the R-word, the only R-word I am is a realist. The British economist Martin Sewell sums it up best: "So-called racism is a perfectly natural in-group bias which has been stigmatized by the politically correct West." Time for us to think more like the Chinese.
This is probably the best write up of KC schools I've ever read.
ReplyDeleteAt last, someone willing to write the TRUTH about public schools.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of you before, but now you are on my bookmarks toolbar.
ReplyDeleteWow.. you write in this article what everyone thinks but is afraid to say.
ReplyDeleteWe already homeschool our kids.
I just forwarded this to everyone I know.
ReplyDeleteHere's a list of I have some of the private schools in KC Area: Notre Dame de Sion, Bishop Miege High School, St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Rockhurst High School, Pembroke Hill School, The Barstow School, Kansas City Academy, St Paul's Episcopal Day School, University Academy, Oakhill Day School, St. Thomas More School, St. Teresa's Academy, St. Pius X High School, Calvary Lutheran School, Martin Luther Academy, St Therese North School, Whitefield Academy, Faith Christian Academy, St. Vincent de Paul Academy, St. Charles Borromeo School, St. John Francis Regis School, Bannister Christian Academy, Our Lady of the Angels, St. Michael the Archangel Catholic School, Holy Cross Catholic School, Holy Spirit Catholic Church, John Paul II Catholic School, Ascension Catholic School, etc.
ReplyDeleteWe checked some of these out but ended up homeschooling….
I am of Chinese ancestry and agree with this post 100%.
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely sure I understand the premise of this article. Are you saying that the presence of certain minorities at a given institution inherently diminishes the quality of the education it provides? If so, I disagree. I attended a magnet high school in a different state. Half the student population was black. The remaining half was "other" (of which I, a Caucasian, was part). Eight different foreign languages were available. I took seven college-level courses my senior year. I and others earned an International Baccalaureate diploma, good for a year of credit at many colleges and universities, including those among the Ivy League. In no way do I consider my education diminished by the presence of blacks or other minorities. On the contrary, I considered it enriched on both social and academic levels. The quality of educators and the curriculum played no small part in that, either.
ReplyDeleteI realize my experience may be an isolated one, but it is my experience. And it runs counter to what I believe to be your premise. Forgive me if I misinterpreted it.
Kudos.
DeleteAt least one person here isn't buying off on the "because they're black, they're inherently inferior" meme.
Sheesh.

ReplyDeleteAt least the location of Pembroke will be convenient. When the black kids get out of school, they can walk over to the Plaza to loot stores with the black flash mobs that the KC Star refuses to honestly report on.
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing what every mainstream news source in KC has failed to do: tell the truth about KC area schools.
ReplyDeletegreat article
ReplyDeleteradio man talks about it here:

Holy cow.
ReplyDeleteYou and this couldn't be more racist if you burned a cross in my front yard.
The author of this articles speaks the truth that no one else will say for fear of getting fired. It's refreshing to see someone thinking outside the politically correct box.
ReplyDeleteSo we beat and kill and torture and own an entire race of people here in this nation for a few centuries then, when we realize a) they're human after all (seriously, actually, we had to come to that conclusion) and that b) they deserved equality or something near it, what did we do? C) We moved away. We picked up, created suburbs and let them fend for themselves.
ReplyDeleteIt's disgusting.
And now, all these many hundreds of years later, we wonder why some black people are poor and/or under-educated and/or desperate and/or raised badly or poorly and why, again, some of them--a lot, really, too many--are poor and impoverished.
And then we blame it on them.
That is fucking beautiful.
Fuck.
Then, on top of all that, we walk away and declare ourselves not racists.
Jesus H. Fucking Christ.
Congratulations all you white people. You did it. You won.
Again.
Some more.
Isn't it just terrific that we're superior to them?
Mo Rage,
DeleteHow many politically correct cliches are you going to invoke? *Yawn*

DOJ: "In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man."

Seriously, Mo Rage, you sound like a sissy. Grow a pair.
Mo Rage,
DeleteYou might suffer from Pathological Altruism:
http://www.amren.com/features/2012/07/pathological-altruism/
Both of your posts--"Anonymous"--completely ignore and deny anything I pointed out in my response.
DeleteAn entire race is beaten down, owned, kept uneducated, tortured, when not killed, etc., etc., since the beginning of our nation yet only they are to blame for how they are and in what condition.
That is some beautiful, magnificent--likely white--rationalization.
Side note: And for any coward who writes as "Anonymous" to claim someone else needs to "grow a pair" is irony and hypocrisy of the first order.
White people will likely never get it, never understand. They don't want to, in spite of what they could learn:

i guess it's just too easy to blame minorities rather than to observe the historical policies that lead to this current predicament. reading this article and its comments makes me sad. racism blinds these poor folks, causing them to write articles like this and to blame their problems on minorities rather than the majority who created the situation.

ReplyDeleteMo Rage,
DeleteYou are a broken record.
The average IQ of blacks is only around 75 and the cause is genetic:

Also blacks are genetically hardwired to be violent:

Speaking of black culture, I don't even really like rap music (it's aesthetically inferior) but this is a good song:

Holy Mary, Mother of God that is some nearly unbelievable, ugly, really ugly, deeply entrenched racism you have going for you, Rabbi Cohen.
DeleteHoly sh*t.
Gimme a fuckin break with the whole "Slavery" shit.
ReplyDeleteHere are some uncomfortable truths about slavery.

What is the fuckin sell by date on all the initiatives, coin of the realm and bullshit social engineering legislation that has held this coutry back for 50 years waitng for Blacks to mainstream.
Time to move the fuck on.
I am shocked by all the cowards and narrow minded people that are commenting on this trashy article. Who knew so many idiots still exist...how many encounters have any of you had with minorities anyway? People aren't an issue because of their skin, they're an issue because of how they're raised. You have white kids shooting up schools and I'm pretty sure that's not helpful for anyone's learning environment. When was the last time you turned on the news and saw a black kid shoot his teacher and peers? I'll wait.
ReplyDeleteBtw I'm happy to show my beautiful black face while the rest if you narrow minded idiots hide yours and don't give me the bs about no one wants to be fired for expressing their opinions. If anything you're afraid of how others react to the fact that you have hatred in your heart bc of something so small like skin color. Senseless.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you Carissa. I don't know how to sign into this thing but I am a 44 year old white woman. We aren't all racists, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteThis is the worst article I've ever read and every one of you that wrote in agreeing should be so completely disgusted with yourselves. This article is NOTHING less than Hitler speak. It's promoting one race over another and suggesting that those with white skin are somehow inherently better than all others - based on skin color! This is sick and entirely incorrect. After you read this go see Hidden Figures. I haven't seen it yet but we use the director for some of our corporate ads. Needless to say, it saddens me that any of you would say such things. I love my city and disgusted by the racism that continues. Issues w/ any particular minority are rooted in cultural issues -- not genes or IQ. The reality is that a particular group of people or even a single person won't advance beyond their current circumstances unless they see advancing as an option. Education is the only answer we have to our current crises - globally. I take that back, the other is for each and every one of you and those like you to consider love over hate. The energy that your thoughts produce creates more division, anger and hate. My point, you are part of the problem.
