I worked with gifted black and brown kids in Washington, D.C. in the mid-90s and I always find these attempts, almost always in the name of racial equity, to be such a slap in the face to those kids who finally got to feel normal for once in their life. They NEEDED to be around other smart kids or else they just felt like weirdos and outcasts. As someone else wrote, high IQ IS a special need and it's not one that our society can afford to squander AND it's cruel to squander it for kids who otherwise could be bright, excited, full of hope and feeling seen for, perhaps, the first time in their lives.

Urshela doesn’t do much for me, & I think Chapman is better. But I don’t think he’s better *enough* to justify potentially locking into 3 decline years and losing the 49th pick in the draft. And how much should we pay attention to what guys did 6+ years ago? Here’s 19-23:

August 8, 1982. A line drive foul ball hits a four year old boy in the head at Fenway. Jim Rice, realizing in a flash that it would take EMTs too long to arrive and cut through the crowd, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy. He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him. When the boy arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later, doctors said, without a doubt that Jim's prompt actions saved the boy's life. Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform. A real badge of courage. After visiting the boy in the hospital, and realizing the family was of modest means, he stopped by the business office and instructed that the bill be sent to him. This is what a sports Hero looks like! ❤

16 years ago, reporting the war in Afghanistan, I was shot through the chest & nearly died. I survived due to the bravery of others. This is the extra life they gave me. #AliveDay

From 6:41 to :55, Purdue didn’t attempt a single two point FG shot. While in the double bonus. With 7’4” Zach Edey, the presumptive player of the year. Against the smallest team in the country. Which got in the tournament on a technicality. Painter.

On this day 2,067 years ago Julius Caesar was assassinated in broad daylight in the middle of Rome. But it wasn't a mob or a popular uprising - Caesar was killed by a group of disgruntled senators. Here's how it happened, moment by moment, on that fateful day in 44 BC...
