A local news weekly ran a puff-piece about some kids from three local
high schools who had been accepted into s newly established competitive
state scholar program.
Of the 17 kids, there were only five "American" names. The other 12 had
Indian. Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese or miscellaneous unpronounceable
foreign monikers.
So 71% of local "best and the brightest" students ain't Smith, Jones or
Johnson. Time to wake up, guys before they eat out lunch.

they welcome, accept and want immigrants as long as they come here
legally. How long exactly does an immigrant have to be here before they
are an American? I'll bet all or almost all of those students was born here,
but apparently that's not good enough either.

grades up if parents would take away their smart phones and such if
their grades fall below a certain minimum.
My grandsons grades went up when he found out they had to be so high
before the school would let him compete in sports.
