Woke Pirouette
BALLET-LOVERS browsing YouTube might come across videos of the Princeton University Ballet (PUB), a student club performing an art that marries the aesthetics of physical grace and music.
However, you should resist the temptation to watch. These talented young women represent racism, because ballet is an expression of white supremacy – and admiring racist art makes you complicit.
In a mode Kim Jong-un might admire, the administrators of PUB and the New Jersey-based university’s woke enforcers are making dancers undergo privilege indoctrination and take part in obligatory community work, because ballet is exclusive unless everyone gets the same chance to do it...
The administrators think ballet is not just racist. It is biased against people who are fat, have no dancing ability or are perhaps physically disabled. Ways must be found to help them pass auditions for an art form which depends on a high degree of athleticism and cohesiveness on the part of the dancers.
There is a bright side to this in that many people are likely to find such lunacy amusing rather than threatening. Ridicule is bound to follow and ridicule is always a risk for loons who take themselves seriously.

In the article, it says that these pillocks are against the white supremacist value of perfectionism. That's brilliant. It means that they will gradually eliminate themselves from the marketplace, then the culture, and then the gene pool. I'm all for the most stupid being allowed to experience the results of their own stupidity.
Sugar Plum Fairy, a look into the future of ballet.....

A for effort, but naah....
And once again fiction predicts the future...
From Wikipedia: "Harrison Bergeron" is a dystopian science-fiction short story by American writer Kurt Vonnegut, first published in October 1961.
In the year 2081, the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful, loud radios that disrupt thoughts inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic.

Nineteen Eighty Four... a Big Brother manual, not a fictional book.
Fahrenheit 451... how to control knowledge by book burning, not a novel.
Harrison Bergeron... how to make sure everybody is equal, not a short story.
I detect a trend.
Only white is it? How about Carlos Acosta?
Who allowed these stupid brainwashed cretins to be in charge?
You seem to have misspelled Princesston.
Sam - maybe it's where opposition to merit comes from, a survival tactic by the stupid.
Wiggia - yes, A for effort but hardly any views and somehow I'm not surprised.
DJ - I remember that short story and thinking it was too far-fetched to work. If I'd only known.
Ed - I think they are just race hustlers and we are failing to identify them as hustlers so more are encouraged to pile in.
dearieme - some folk will be worrying about the name already. The anguish must be painful.

The short story was written 60 years ago and set 60 years from now. The details were certainly far fetched but, particularly in the States, meritocracy and testing are now being eroded.
Let's hope they don't get around to 'equal opportunities' for brain surgeons and pilots any time soon.

The medical schools have already started down this path. Presumably VIPs will still be able to select able doctors but bad luck if you are on Medicaid or the VA.
DJ and dearieme - we have encountered a number of GPs who made us wonder how they ever got through medical school. Prizes for all perhaps.
