The plan: “Integrate” violent thugbeasts into the former “gifted” classes.

Just another Socialist “drag everyone down to the lowest level for equality”.

They would only be “racist” if minorities are neither gifted nor talented...but even if that were true, it still wouldn’t be racist.

Good. Do you want your child to receive a “gifted” education? Pay for it yourself.
To: ex91B10
These fools apparently have no idea just how racist their shut down of the program is. They are saying that minorities are inferior. Lefties are a really clueless bunch. This is why they are authoritarian. No intelligent sane person would buy their dumb ideas.

Gifted adults don’t live in government housing - why should gifted students be forced to study in government schools?

People discriminate every day. when picking out a steak at the butcher, each person will discriminate.
Discriminate does not mean prejudice. If you were grading eggs, putting the large eggs in one bin and medium eggs in another bin is not prejudice. It is discrimination.
Prejudice is not allowing POCs to participate in the gifted program.
Discrimination is allowing all qualified students to participate in the gifted program. POCs who qualify on the same terms as non-POCs are admitted.
Charles Murray explains very well:

Equity, the lowering of all things to the lowest common denominator as opposed to raising things up.
Its the lazy way of doing things, explains why the Libs/progs like it so much.

Being a talented achiever is so racist. I wonder if that applies to basketball and football too?

If a child is truly “gifted,” he wouldn’t need someone else to teach him. You could hand him a book and he’d learn on his own.
In fact, he’d be better off never attending school with all the bad influences there (yes, including in the “gifted programs”).

its time to integrate the NBA and NFL....

So the answer to fixing the problem with stupid kids is to make more stupid kids by denying intelligent & gifted kids an education?
Who's the genius that thought this was a good idea?

What it's really about: The Elites do not want very smart working-class kids to be able to compete against their expensively-privately-schooled kids.
