Yes, I know this is Chinese propaganda.
It's cheers and jubilation in class when a boy gets full marks for a test! So great to be around friends who are equally happy for your achievements as well! #ChinaStory pic.twitter.com/RWOGIFJ6VD

Yes, I know this only applies to the children of good Chinese citizens with high social credit scores.
I don’t care.
As I said earlier today, we are entering a new dark age.
The future of America will be one like that of Idiocracy. Not because the stupid have out-bred the smart but because we willfully made ourselves stupid by embracing woke ideology in math.
Chinese students are celebrating a kid getting all the right answers on a math test.
In the US, there are no right answers on a math test, and any kid that did get all the rights answers would be branded a white supremacist.
There is a lot to criticize about China.
But I will give the Chinese credit for one thing:
If someone showed up in China and said “the Chinese people are responsible for all the evils in the world, they should be ashamed of their privilege, and their students must be taught anti-racist math in which there are no right answers.”
That person would be dragged out into the middle of the street and shot in the back of the head.
Freedom of speech. Pluralistic society. Blah, blah, blah.
We let a handful of people redefine patriotism and pride in national excellence as racist and evil, and as a result, have utterly destroyed the future of our society.
The lesson is crystal clear, a civilization that is proud of its history will strive to succeed and a civilization that is ashamed of its history will be doomed to fail.
Any society that is willing to entertain the premise of anti-racist math is a nation in the decline.
I actually remember celebrating with a classmate when my score on a second or third grade math test improved. Yeah, we were little kids, but most everyone valued doing well.
I don’t have enough of a lawn to order anyone off it, but, well, the sentiment is there.
When I worked with at risk yoots we would routinely have ones come in beat to hell or reporting their school supplies stolen if other kids in their neighborhood found out they were doing well or were on the fast track towards a scholarship towards a magnet school.
Bucket of crabs aye?
