School: AP and Honors classes will be decided by skin color, not intelligence
Fox News ^ | 8 Aug 2017 | Todd Starnes

A Virginia high sent a disturbing letter to parents and students announcing they would be selecting students for Advanced Placement and honors classes at least partly based on skin color, a concerned parent told Fox News.

Martin Luther King, Jr. must be turning over in his grave.

A parent forwarded me a copy of the letter sent from John Handley High School in Winchester.

“Through our collective work, advanced classes such as AP and Honors will have proportional representation,” read the letter. “Proportional representation is 40% White, 35% Hispanic, 12% African American, 10% mixed race.”

The letter went on to explain that public schools across the country “continue to see outcomes that are disproportionate by race and social class.”

“American demographic trends indicate that America will be a majority minority nation in the next 25 years,” the letter read. “Therefore, the new work of American public schools is to develop systems to address disparate outcomes.”

Interesting -- I thought the work of American public schools was to teach kids how to read, write, multiply and divide.

A school district spokesperson reached out to me and strongly denied that they have any policies dictating racial quotas for advanced courses.

According to Wikipedia, Sal Khan is of Indian/Bangladeshi descent, but born here. Actually, he was born in my hometown. There is a little info on the Khan Academy, but it seems like it’s run by Americans.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sal_Khan

Salman Khan was born in Metairie, Louisiana, United States, to a Bengali family.[6] His father was from Barisal, Bangladesh, and his mother was from Murshidabad, West Bengal, India.[7][6] He attended the public school Grace King High School in Metairie, Louisiana, where, as he recalls, “a few classmates were fresh out of jail and others were bound for top universities.”[8] He graduated valedictorian in 1994.[9]

Khan attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating with Bachelor of Science degrees in mathematics, electrical engineering and computer science in 1998, later getting his Master of Science in electrical engineering and computer science.[10] Khan was class president in his senior year.[11]

Khan also holds a Master in Business Administration from Harvard Business School.[

No doubt many teachers aren’t overly bright, but the reason behind this is to blatantly discriminate against whites in a codified manner given a different name. More qualified white students will be forced to move behind less qualified Africans. This brand of racism is still racism regardless of what name they give it.

Overall teachers have the lowest SAT and ACT scores on campus. SAT and ACT scores correlate well with IQ.

So.....For all those who claim to know a smart government teacher, please remember that there is a really dumb government teacher who is responsible for evening out the average.

No, it is not. It is because the public school is a pagan socialist system built on the Prussian model (maybe they are African, too?), which goal is to destroy the family and Christianity, and turn kids into little neo-pagans like you.

You never miss an opportunity to go after black people, do you?
