Schools don't teach intelligence, and grades don't (or shouldn't) measure intelligence. Intelligence can be fostered, but it can't be taught.

Thanks for proving my point. We are not equal. Do you and Tom have same intelligence or should I say the capacity to learn? I think Tom was probably just held down by the man.

You had a point?

Of course not all people are of equal intelligence. That's quite a different statement from suggesting that not all racial groups are of equal intelligence.

Didn't he say something similar about men vs. women a few years back?

He's an old bigot, and his achievements in science are just encouraging people to give lip service to his dried-up ass...
