This grade inflation is a direct result of the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) bureaucracies and their twin concept of intersectionality. DEI requires that groups – rather than individuals – be treated “equitably”, and that preferred groups be advantaged in hiring, admissions and other benefits.

Jews and other disfavored minorities are thus discriminated against in grading. The only way individuals from disfavored groups can compete against favored groups is by achieving better grades. But if everyone gets the same A grades, the favored groups will get the job and admission benefits.

Grade inflation – which is more prevalent in the social sciences than in the hard sciences – also reflects the subjectivity and propagandistic nature of many of today’s courses, in which all ideas are deemed equal (except conservative ones, which students are afraid to articulate, lest their A- collapse into a D or F.)

[Yes, in this case, conservatives count as ‘disfavored minorities.’ Read all of Dersh’s explanation of how ‘equity grading’ has corrupted outcomes, especially in the social sciences, and enforced propaganda and indoctrination. — Ed]
