Soviet people denounced their neighbors to the KGB so that when the neighbors went to the gulag they could get better apartments.
Pretty much every unaccountable secret police force gets used to settle private scores. The answer, of course, is don't have an unaccountable secret police force.

Someday you, too, could have the moral fortitude to look upon a years-long rape circus organized by the nation's most powerful elites and declare, "The people upset about this are speaking about it the wrong way."

basically every single measure of academic achievement is correlated with family income for pretty obvious reasons. the ~20% of SAT variation explained by family SES makes it one of the measures *least* determined by this.
And then we can go on to discuss the fact the only consistent correlation for SAT scores (as well as other standardized educational assessments) is to family income level--which in turn is nicely correlated to race/ethnicity for minoritized Americans.
