Right, and some schools have just done away with some advanced classes because not enough minorities were qualified to take them, to make things “fair”.
“... to make things “fair”.
That is what it is all about.. image of fairness. This starts out in kindergarten when they sort the classes into groups: based on ethnicity and sex. Later, they sort by groups for the high math and reading. Both classes (average level and higher level) have to LOOK the same. Honors and AP classes are after that step. The school doesn’t care if the student struggles or gets a low grade either. It is all about numbers/color/gender.
