They’re probably doing this because they can’t find enough teachers smart enough to teach the classes.
If you even remotely love your children, remove them from the government leftist indoctrination centers.
Homeschool or private school is the only real option.
Equality with whom? China? Japan? The Russians?
Do these boobs not see they are being led down the garden path by those people who seek to dominate them in the future?
No Child Gets Ahead.
The message being sent by this is that blacks are too stupid to do math. Talk about racist!
Will it also be illegal for parents to but their children math books?

Pretty pathetic. I was in AP Math, and was in the California MGM program in grade school - I was bored out of my mind in regular classes. What are smart kids supposed to do now? Stay with the dullards and be bored, possibly into tuning out of the whole mess? How is it fair to penalize the smart kids who want to learn, and wreck their educations?
Teaching to the lowest common denominator.
It’s beginning to make sense; colleges are becoming steaming shitholes of “wokeness” in lieu of institutions of higher learning because they increasingly with ignorami, the victims of high school’s devolution in pursuit of “equity.” Ho high schools produce idiots and colleges fuel their idiocy even further. Welcome to socialism, where “free college” will make degrees even more worthless.
I took Calculus as a high school senior, and advanced-placed out of one term of Calculus at a top-ranked university!!!! And I was NOT the very “best and brightest” in math!!!!
Later, I used Calculus for one part of my Harvard Ph.D. thesis in molecular biology!
Current high school students should have AT LEAST the same opportunities I had!!!! That’s more important than “wokeness”!!!!
Besides that:

Taking away the ability of people to achieve something does not achieve equality. What it does is bring down people who try and make them sit there while the dumb ones sit there thinking they have achieved something, meanwhile, everybody suffers and the more intelligent people are frustrated. Those who can do more should be encouraged to do so. That is the way life should be. California is the worst example of a state. Vote Republican to cure the problem.

“In the Name of Equity, California Will Discourage Students Who Are Gifted at Math ... The new framework aims to keep everyone learning at the same level for as long as possible.”
And if that doesn’t work well enough, there are several excellent ideas to prolong “equality” in this prescient manual of educational “equality”, “Harrison Bergeron”, by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.:

So they are changing the narrative back to equality rather than for equity. This has been about equity, the outcome rather than the opportunity.
(Judging from my grandchildren's experiences, I'd say they might as well. Or maybe that they already have!)
Sooooo, they’re telling me that since certain segments of the population cannot do advanced math, we need to bring down the rest so that segment doesn’t get their feelings hurt?
Anyone who’s seen “Stand And Deliver” (an absolutely *outstanding* film based on a true story) knows how absolutely disgusting this is. It’s so disgusting that the Butchers of Beijing are rolling in the aisles with laughter right now.
I had a good calculus teacher in high school. Then I started college (Pitt) where the freshman engineering math classes were all taught by grad students that couldn’t speak English. If I hadn’t learned it in high school I would have flunked out of college.
