Crabs in a bucket. Some climb but the others pull them down.
LOL- even far LW WaComPost understands ayatollah mamdani is garbage...
It doesn't bring, and wasn't meant to bring, the lower levels higher.
The goal is to lower the higher levels lower so that there is no one "higher."
There's you're equity. You're all equitably LOW.
“Gifted” just means “normal.”
The “gifted” programs are a means of allowing the normal kids to escape the bedlam cause by the “non-gifted.”
Harrison Bergeron come to life.
For decades the teachers have promoted bringing higher achievers down to the middle so as not to make the low achievers feel uncomfortable.
Society lost some good people who grew up without encouragement and opportunities——such as boys who raised their hands in class but never got called on by the sexist feminist women teachers pushing female empowerment.
What a difference an "F" makes in the schools!

The interesting thing here is that the Washington Post loved, loved, loved, loved, loved, loved the Fairfax County, VA folks who wanted to end Thomas Jefferson’s enriched science program because it didn’t have enough illiterate illegal aliens from Latin America enrolled.
Ha ha gifted students. My daughter went to school in fourth grade where the principal was married to the “head teacher” and they had two gifted children in the gifted and talented program.
What about NYC professional sports teams? Why should world class athletes be the only ones to earn millions and play a game! Time to provide equal access to all sports no matter a player’s ability’s!
“… Who could have guessed that Zohran Mamdani (D), the leading candidate to become the next New York mayor, would provoke a firestorm by announcing this week that he intends to phase out the city’s early elementary school programs for gifted students in the name of equity? …”
Anyone with five functioning brain cells. That’s who.
I taught gifted. The programs no longer reflect excellence. Homeschool or seriously supplement. Done let the government define your child’s gifted education.
EQUITY is not EQUALITY
ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL -
means we all start out the same.
EQUITY - means we all end up the same by government fiat.
That is Marxist Communism, not socialism.
I hope he is able to swiftly implement all of his programs. Sometimes, things have to get worse before they can get better.
Sheik Madmani knows that his type are a bunch of retards so he doesn’t want any gifted American students, OF ANY COLOR, running around making the muzzies look bad.
America’s institutions of learning are in free fall and a disgrace that’ along with everything else and with grace of God and DJT can resolve.
Never has the USA been in such a Democrap and RINO-caused calamity!
President Trump is the man of the year, decade and millennium. He will go down in history as the greatest!
“Zohran Mamdani treads on dangerous ground by putting equity ahead of educational opportunity.”
In a typical Communist, Socialist, Muslim society the bourgeoisi, the ruling class are the only ones truly educated and capable of amassing wealth so to do that they keep the proletariat uneducated and in poverty and dependent upon them for everything. That means they must put all students, smart and dumb, into the same level of learning so they all end up as proletariat no matter how smart or talented they are.
From what I understand, that policy is already enforced by the Department of Education in a school district in a parish here. The Federal government enforced number crunching pertaining to racial balancing is incomprehensible. My info dates back to the Obama and Biden administrations.
Federal judges have completely destroyed the Baton Rouge shcool system and the New Orleans police force.
Smart students are very dangerous.
They might learn to hate and who to hate.
Lol.
Gifted programs for schoolchildren - another dinosaur remnant of the first time America was Great. It’s like losing shop class and early release work programs for high school kids.
