Yesterday The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about political correctness<\/a> run amok<\/a>. The story was about an election at a San Francisco<\/a> middle school.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A student government<\/a> election at a San Francisco middle school had its results ignored\u00a0after a principal decided the candidates elected were too white.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elections were held at Everett Middle School<\/a> Oct. 10, but on Oct. 14 principal Lena Van Haren sent an email to parents saying the results were being ignored, without being made public, because those elected did not reflect how diverse the school is. While Everett is more than 80 percent non-white, Van Haren said the election results<\/a> \u201cweren\u2019t representative\u201d of that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is concerning to me because as principal I want to make sure the voices are all heard, from all backgrounds,\u201d Van Haren told local KTVU News<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The students voted. No one twisted their arms. There was no illegal registration or restriction of the vote. The students chose who would represent them.<\/p>\n

Stop and think for a minute. Teenagers know who has it together and who doesn’t. They probably picked the most popular, the best looking, and someone they thought was the smartest. Isn’t that true equality–you pick the person that meets the standards you set, regardless of race, color, religion, looks, height, sex, etc.?<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe organizers are saying things like, \u2018we want everyone\u2019s voice to be heard,\u2019 but in truth, the voters<\/a>\u2019 voices are not being heard,\u201d seventh grader Sebastian Kaplan told KRON, another local news<\/a>\u00a0station.\u00a0\u201cThe whole school voted for those people, so it is not like people rigged the game, but in a way, now it is kinda being rigged.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Van Haren went on to say that she is considering a variety of fixes to the problem, including appointing several new positions in order to ensure more minorities are represented without kicking out those who actually won the election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So the principal is simply diluting the voices of the children who were elected in order to reach her idea of ideal racial balance. What lesson does that teach the children?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
