But like it\u2019s doing to so many self-evident things, the left is attempting to destroy this idea as it pursues a Sovietesque system of \u201cequity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parents might not see merit\u2019s decline as a more pressing concern than their children being told they can be any gender they choose from day to day. Academically, most children are average. There are many ideological battles to be had, so why fight for merit?<\/p>\n<p>Parents have to see merit as part and parcel of the left\u2019s push to impose its ridiculous concepts on our kids. <\/p>\n<p>The idea that everyone has the same chance of success has been tested in many failed socialist countries. You can be certain that the rest of the woke ideas you hate will take over a school if the left ends merit. <\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, our schools\u2019 loss of rigor has dumbed down our country, and the retreat from pursuing merit has slowed success for so many kids.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t theoretical. This isn&#8217;t an accident.<\/p>\n<p>Asra Nomani, Virginia mom <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/12\/22\/a-battle-over-charter-co-location-reveals-how-deeply-progressives-are-wrong\/\">recently discovered that<\/a> in September 2020, her son received National Merit recognition, a prestigious honor given to a handful of kids across the country \u2014 \u00a0but her son\u2019s school, Thomas Jefferson HS for Science and Technology, hid it from the family. <\/p>\n<p>The majority-Asian school lies in the middle and is drowning under leftist ideology. \u201cequity,\u201d There are no differences in the outcomes of children depending on their skin color. TJ has too many successful Asians, so Asians are out. Nomani\u2019s son was the wrong color, and the school\u2019s racists decided he should not be presented with the award.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

\/><\/a><figcaption>Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin proposed a bill \u201cto eliminate the withholding of any recognition, award, or postsecondary scholarship eligibility earned by Virginia students.\u201d<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP\/John C. Clark<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has launched an investigation into whether these schools violated the students\u2019 civil rights. It&#8217;s obvious that they did, and accountability is required. Any school found to be withholding merit awards from children should be given the option of either a new administration or losing federal funding. <\/p>\n<p>Schools receive this money to support kids\u2019 education and success, not to impose their twisted Communist-like social system. If public schools can\u2019t or won\u2019t do that, they don\u2019t deserve to exist.<\/p>\n<p>This scandal&#8217;s behavior is beyond reproach. They should all lose it all.<\/p>\n<p>Left treats public schools as its own fiefdom. This must change. Parents should fight for school choice and for a child\u2019s education funding to follow the student, but (particularly in blue states where that\u2019s an uphill battle) they have to simultaneously fight for our public schools.<\/p>\n<p>Parents are able to do it. They have been able to defeat critical-race theory and gender-ideology training in many public school systems, even those in blue. The next frontier is fighting for merit, and it must matter to everyone.<\/p>\n<p><em>Twitter: @Karol<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It used to be obvious merit is a part of achieving America&#8217;s dream.
