This is simply promotion of lowest-common-denominator. Typical vandal, destructive mind-set of the cultural marxists.
Any white parent with half a brain will flee the public school system - and Covid lock-downs means many are. They are already forcing their ideology on public schools in places like NY City. The public schools will be left with only the lowest performing, most dependent students.
This is why compulsory attendance ruined cities. The middle class fled, the upper class sent their kids to private schools, and the poor were stuck.
Want minority kids to do better? Defund the public schools, and send poor kids to private schools that won’t put up with bad behavior and will demand some accountability from parents.
