"Turns Out There Is A Proper Way To Buy Your Kid a College Slot"

  On March 12, 2019, The Editorial Board wrote an opinion on the New York Times Calling it "Turns Out There Is A Proper Way To Buy Your Kid a College Slot"
   On the post, the editorial board talked about how many wealthy parents were caught in a fraud administrative scam. Where they were paying many employees, staff including coaches thousands of dollars to accept their children into elite schools such as Stand-ford, Georgetown, UCLA and even Yale University. The Editorial board mention "This is infuriating for parents and students who chose to play by the rules in seeking college admissions" briefly explaining how merit is not defined on a test but in artistic talents of other forms not closely correlated with grades.
   The author/s of this opinion was to inform people who might not know what money can really buy. It was not surprising to me that this news comes out to the world. I'm content that wealthy people are getting exposed to this behavior, connections and money can take you to many places. But when it comes to honesty, trust, and loyalty especially when it affects the country, can become tempting for some of us.

Trump's China Bashing: Anti-Asian Racism

     Trumps new cold war on Beijing has been effecting trade and such, more importantly created a anti-asian movement throughout the U.S. This bashing from President Trump created a domino effect towards higher education foreign students in the United States. In Duke university a women named Megan Nelly, as she calls herself the "language police" has reported statements and evidence of Chinese students speaking their own language in school premise then reported to students and faculty their "unacceptable behavior". According to Donal Trump and his supporters and as mention on https://www.counterpunch.org the Chinese culture are being spy's for our country...
     As a result, the total foreign students in universities have double since the last two decade and Chinese students have grown the fastest. I could see why there could be other rationalities. After coming to the context that the Chinese student body overwhelmingly enter undergraduate and graduate programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics as well as business does make you think something might be up... As a conclusion Trump has already been denied and delayed visas from students studying robotics, aviation and high tech.
     The author Ashley smith, a member of the international socialist organization and the editorial board of the international socialist review, wrote this article towards liberal believing audience. Smith concludes that we have to fight against these racist anti-asian acts and stand up just like the Chinese students in Duke University did against the wide spread email from Megan Nelly the "language police" of the university. I agree with Smith, we can not allow Trumps new cold war on Beijing to impact the society. Raising of tariffs, starting of an economic war towards China is one thing but cultural and racial discrimination is another thing and very personal. Blocking many opportunities for all kinds of race. This type of behavior will only allow more people to think and make it acceptable for everyone to act on, spreading and penetrating on toxic citizens in the United States. Although, Donal promotes such behavior because he is our president many international bodies might only get stronger mentally.

Greetings!

Hi ya'll! Wishing everyone a happy semester full of positivity and success!
