Lysenkoian Education System
The people who refuse to recognize that genetics is an important aspect of intelligence, personality, and overall human nature are of the same mentality as Josef Stalin in his rejection of Medelian genetics and his support of Lysenko. Unfortunately, these people are in charge of your educational system. The refusal to recognize merit is of the same mentality, as is placing students together in grades according to age rather than ability. Placing students together according to age makes as much sense as placing them together according to height.

The worst thing is that no one actually thinks genes don't matter at all, they're just ideologically obliged to act as if genes didn't matter at all. If you accuse someone of taking a blank slate position, they'll counter by saying you're knocking down a straw man. They'll barely acknowledge that genes affect intelligence, ability and behaviour, and then they'll equivocate for all they're worth and place all their moral emphasis against it. It might be a fact, but if you want to do something about it, you're practically a nazi.
Woo-hoo, politically correct doublethink.
