【影片】福克斯名嘴炮轟美國名校:官二代就這麼多天才?

Tucker Carlson是福克斯新聞的王牌主持人,地位堪比Hannity,他的時政訪談節目在美國家喻戶曉,收視率穩居前三。
Tucker多次公開抨擊種族AA,認為大學錄取明顯歧視亞裔孩子,這在講究政治正確的主流媒體上絕對是一股清流。

種族AA的問題以前寫過無數篇文章,不再贅述,值得一提的是,推動AA的基本上都是民主黨,他們認為黑人理所應當受到特殊照顧。
但是大學資源是有限的,既然要降低標準多招少數族裔,那麼自然就需要別人騰出位置,而首當其衝的顯然是亞裔。因為亞裔家庭重視教育,所以在大學裡的比例高出人口比例,那麼在民主黨的眼裡,亞裔就需要表現出高風亮節。也就是說,人口最少的亞裔,卻被民主黨踢出了少數族裔的行列
共和黨的態度截然相反:人人平等,憑本事上大學。沒有人應該被歧視,也沒有人應該被特殊照顧。

Tucker問了一個很樸素的問題,既然民主黨整天呼籲要照顧少數族裔,他們自己有沒有展現出高風亮節呢?

答案是,不但沒有,而且民主黨大佬們一個個把自己的孩子塞進了美國的頂尖名校。

那問題又來了,怎麼這些官二代就這麼優秀?

比如Al Gore,四個孩子全部進了哈佛。Tucker說這種機率相當於一個人不但被雷劈,而且每天一次,連續一年不斷!

或許Tucker有點誇張,但是一家四個孩子全部進哈佛肯定不多見,Al Gore就這麼教子有方嗎?

影片裡還有無數例子。
前兩天轟動美國的名校招生欺詐案,富豪們收買考官,考試作弊,冒充體育特長生,也是為了孩子上個名校。而這些人大部分也是民主黨,一邊呼籲AA,一邊透過犯罪手段把自己的孩子往名校裡塞,結果被FBI抓了50多個。
Tucker說這其實屬於低階犯罪,真正的高手是這些政客們,跟名校勾結在一起,權錢交易,把納稅人的錢幾億幾億地送出去,然後自己的孩子光明正大地被名校接收。別人還說不出什麼來,因為招生都是保密的,誰也不知道Al Gore的孩子到底多優秀,才能四個孩子全部進哈佛。

很多人都知道常春藤聯盟是私立大學,但實際上他們接受的納稅人資助比誰都不少。八所藤校,每年拿到的聯邦資金,超過了美國的16個州。

無論大學還是政客,一碰到切身利益,滿嘴的高大上立馬拋在腦後。

影片總長六分鐘,分成了兩個部分。後面有文稿(來自Breitbart),因為時間有限,就不翻譯了。最後附上YouTube的觀眾留言,截圖了前三頁,從中可以看出,群眾的眼睛還是雪亮的。

Transcript:
If you've ever watched Chris Cuomo on CNN, you may have wondered: how did this guy get a TV show? Sure, he's got well-defined abdominal muscles, and good for him. But he can barely speak English. There are nights when Cuomo emits entire paragraphs that mean nothing at all. Just pure gibberish, like pig Latin, or dogs barking. It's remarkable. Was this guy educated in the United States? Let's check Wikipedia. Wait it a second. The entry says that Chris Cuomo went to Yale University in Connecticut. That can't be right. Yale has famously high admissions standards. Your kids couldn't get in. No chance. They'd have to be incredibly smart — geniuses, really. Is Chris Cuomo a secret genius? Does he have some amazing talent that's invisible on TV? Maybe he speaks flawless Urdu? Or has a deep grounding in particle physics? Or can calculate pi to the final digit? Actually, no. Chris Cuomo can't do any of that.
It turns out that he has an even more impressive qualification: His father was the governor of New York. If you want to get into a top American college, it's best to have a parent who's a well-known Democratic politician. That's the most effective credential of all.
Don't take our word for it. Ask Dante DeBlasio, son of Bill DeBlasio, the incompetent mayor of New York. There's no evidence the younger DeBlasio did remarkably well in high school. And yet, like Chris Cuomo, he somehow got into Yale
Once there, Dante DeBlasio found himself surrounded by people just like himself: the thoroughly average children of other prominent liberals. According to press reports, That would include the offspring of at least three Democrats currently-serving in the U.S. Senate: Michael Bennett, Amy Klobuchar, and Sheldon Whitehouse. All of them sent kids to Yale.
Their colleague Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, meanwhile, is one of a stunning number of Senate Democrats who've sent children Harvard. Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey is a Harvard parent. So is Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer. Schumer sent both his kids to Harvard. Barack Obama sent one of his. So did former New York governor Eliot Spitzer.
The all-time record, though, must go to former Vice President Al Gore. Gore sent four. Imagine that: Four kids in a row to Harvard. What are the odds of that occurring in nature? Statistically, it's about as likely as being hit by lightning every single day for a year. Yet somehow the Gore family pulled it off. Congratulations
Andrew Cuomo, the sitting governor of New York, sent one of his kids to Harvard, but the other two went to Brown. That's also an Ivy League university that your kids could never get into. Brown is, as they say, “highly selective,” at least for the children of non-politicians.
But for pure, 200-proof exclusivity, nothing beats Stanford University outside San Francisco. You could live your entire life in this country and never meet a single person who went to Stanford. It's that rarified. And yet here's the amazing part: Hillary Clinton's daughter breezed right in. How did Chelsea do that? Was it her formidable brainpower? Check out her Twitter feed, and judge for yourself.
Now, there's a chance that Chelsea is intentionally misleading us. It's possible that her entire public persona is performance art — a subversive, Borat-style parody of mindless lifestyle liberalism. If that's the case, Chelsea Clinton is utterly brilliant. She's the Jonathan Swift of our time. But it's also possible that Chelsea isn't joking at all.
It is possible, indeed even probable, that she is every bit as dull and self-serious as she seems. In that case, not only is Chelsea Clinton profoundly sub-brilliant, you've got to wonder how she holds a paying job. How did someone like that get into Stanford?
You might have the same question about some of the kids at Georgetown University, here in Washington. Georgetown's alumni magazine is available online, so the next time you've got a minute, take a look. You'll recognize many of the names: Biden, Pelosi, Kennedy. These are the children of famous Democratic politicians. Are they impressive, hardworking kids who deserve to be at one of America's most prestigious universities? Possibly. Maybe some of them. Maybe not.
That's irrelevant. They're the offspring of prominent Democrats. That's why they're at Georgetown. How does this happen? It happens because our meritocracy is a sham. It's fake. They tell you that only the most accomplished students get into these schools. They're lying. Their friends’ kids get first dibs. Fellow members of their social circle. Kids whose families can help them down the road. The children of sympathetic politicians are an obvious priority for admissions officers. These are the same politicians who funnel many billions in tax dollars to colleges and universities every year. So, letting a senator's kid into Harvard is just smart business. The quid quo pro is obvious. It's a form of unregulated lobbying. Remember the varsity blues scandal in California, where a group of socially-anxious soccer moms tried to game college admissions? Well, this is far more corrupt, except nobody's going to prison for it.
So how many Chris Cuomos get into Yale every year? It would be nice to know, but we don't really know. Like almost everything about higher education, it's opaque. Prestigious schools can pretend they admit only the most qualified applicants because nobody can prove otherwise. The real admissions numbers are secret. They're hidden from public view.
Elite colleges are like public companies that lie about their balance sheets. They're cooking the books to defraud shareholders. In this case, the shareholders are the entire country. A handful of schools form the gateway to success in America. If you go to Harvard, you are all but guaranteed to make more over the course of your life than someone who didn't. It's that simple. When you rig the admissions system, you're rigging American society. You're creating an impenetrable class system for your own benefit. And that's exactly what they're doing.
You often hear progressives say they worry about income inequality. They don't mean it, at all. How do you know? Because if the left really cared about the stratification of American society, they'd make college admissions transparent. They'd force Stanford to open the books and show the rest of us how they're assembling this year's freshman class. That's what they'd do. And yet Democrats in Congress haven't done this. They seem strangely incurious about the process. It's like they don't really want to know how it all works. In fact, they already know precisely how the admissions game works, and they strongly approve. Why wouldn't they? Their kids are befitting from it.
