This practice, diametrically opposed to that in Singapore, which outperforms the United States in reading in English in spite of the fact that nearly everyone in that city - state speaks a different language at home, has no chance of narrowing the gap in
academic literacy with native English speakers; instead it will exacerbate it, to be followed by more civil rights pressure on our universities to lower their
academic standards still further in an attempt to achieve
equal outcomes, in a vicious cycle that will continue the degradation of America's civil and
academic life.
