Avoids the embarrassment of minority failures...even, using new (White Supremacy) math.

Wait, that's right, no-one is taught math anymore
(It was all rigged for the White man.)

Imagine, if you can, Dorkbama, BidenO, the Hillabeast, or the HO doing anything in a real STEM class except being a janitor.

The blacks I know who have real PhDs (e.g., NOT in eddikashun or studies) would be incensed and would spit on the claims by leftists have essentially said that certain races cannot hack it so let’s reduce standards and give them pretend degrees. (Note: Law schools are rapidly descending to that level.)

A few years ago, here in my district, the school board was forced to allow failed Black students to walk across the graduation stage (full cap and gown, etc) and receive a 'look alike' certificate of attendance so that they could pretend and avoid the embarrassment of failure. Friends and family took pictures of the happy 'attendees' just as if they had successfully graduated HS.

Today the school would be forced to give failed a them a diploma, I expect.

What has been preventing ALL students from participating? Has there been a “rule” that boys and girls of color cannot participate in these classes? I’m confused!

Maybe that's why these two guys are smiling...

When China, or Russia, or Islam, bad as they are, finally walk in and take over this insane asylum it will be an improvement. At least they're still grounded in reality.

So, we're no-longer going to encourage people with natural aptitude to explore their gifts to their fullest potential?

Fine, I'm an old, slow, white guy. In the name of "inclusion" I demand that the NBA let me in. Further, I can't carry a tune in a bucket nor play a musical instrument to save my life, but in the name of "inclusion" I demand the symphony let me in. I can't rap - I can wrap pretty well with aluminum foil, but in the name of "inclusion" I deserve a record deal.

Are you seeing it yet? We can't dumb-down and homogenize all aspects of our lives to ensure no-one feels left out. People are different. We all have different mixes of natural aptitudes, learned skills, etc. It is unfair, stupid even (yes, stupid), to hold back people to try to artificially adjust outcomes.

It is so obviously idiotic and unsustainable that you have to ask, why promote or advocate for such an idiotic notion? Because it is so widespread, all-encompassing once you accept this idiotic notion then you can find discord, find a situation that "needs to be corrected" to fit your ideal, almost anywhere you look. It is a recipe for never ending interference in people's lives. A fascist/socialist's wet dream: control or at least influence over every aspect of our lives.

Well, how else are the losers-in-charge to ensure that the little losers they raised won’t get offended? Can’t have competition, their losers might lose. Geesh, it’s hard enough bribing college admins to get their older losers into school where they can “fairly” get a degree in some certifiably crappola discipline that will result in a job for no one, anywhere in the world.
This is clear evidence of genetic damage somewhere along the line. And, it appears to be a dominant gene.

Meaning that their teachers can’t teach so nobody is smarter than any other student; all in the same category.

Ha! For you doubters … just when you thought they couldn’t dumb school down anymore.

Our local middle school ditched honors classes because the teachers and administrators are lazy, bureaucratic union hacks who couldn’t be bothered to maintain a separate system of classes and student records.

elitest approved liberal mandate:

All citizens must be dumbed down to the level of those with the lowest cognitive ability.

"Cognitive ability may be defined as a “mental capability that … involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience” (Gottfredson, 1997, p. 13)."

Admit that some demographics do not do well academically, and provide vocational training for them.

This story is about Canada.

Hope U.S. public schools drop honors courses, too.

Then maybe more parents will put their kids into private schools.
