A program at Boston Public Schools (BPS) for high-performing 4th, 5th, and 6th graders will be suspended for a year while administrators figure out how to reduce the number of whites and Asians in the selective program.
Boston schools are nearly 80 percent black and Hispanic while the program, known as Advanced Work Classes, has 70 percent white and Asian enrollment. Obviously, the reason for that is plain-as-day racism… or something.
Superintendent Brenda Cassellius recommended the one-year hiatus for the program, known as Advanced Work Classes, saying the district would not proceed with the program for new students next year.
“There’s been a lot of inequities that have been brought to the light in the pandemic that we have to address,” Cassellius told GBH News. “There’s a lot of work we have to do in the district to be antiracist and have policies where all of our students have a fair shot at an equitable and excellent education.”
New students will be admitted in the fourth grade by standards to be determined at the school level, according to a BPS spokesman.
There will be no new students admitted in the fifth or sixth grades, the spokesman said, but those already in advanced work will be allowed to continue.
Maybe there’s racism in the way the kids were chosen for the advanced learning classes?
The program was open to all students in the Boston Public Schools who took a test known as Terra Nova in the third grade and received a high score. Those students were placed in a lottery conducted by the central administration office, and lottery winners received letters inviting them to apply to the program. Last fall, 453 students received invitations, 143 students applied and 116 enrolled this year, officials said.

Years ago I dated a woman who was a graduate of Radcliffe College...which eventually was “absorbed” by Harvard. She told me once that a classmate of hers,who went on to be the Vice Chancellor of Admissions at Harvard,told her that were it not for Harvard’s “affirmative action” admissions policy every Freshman class would be made up entirely of Asians and Jews.
Well, here’s a clue or two as to why the classes are mostly Whites and Asians. . .

From Boston College:
“Since the 1980s, Indian and Pakistani immigrants in the region have continued to expand their presence in these occupations, as well as the newer fields of biotech and software development. With the establishment of the H-1B visa program in the 1990s, local technology companies recruited a large crop of Indian computer programmers and engineers, some of whom settled in the region permanently.”

I’m guessing most Asians in the Boston area are not of the East Asian type.
More like South Asian, sons and daughters of the H1B Indian scumbags invited into the US to take American jobs
Average IQ, according to the chart: 80. Much lower than Europe, East Asia or the US, lower than all of South American. Only Africa has a collective lower IQ
And yes,each of those driveways features either a Volvo SUV,a Range Rover SUV,or a Tesla.
The ruling class wants servants, not potential competition.
Liberals and leftists are very sad that the races get along too well and are trying to re-create the racist days of the 1960s
They keep trying and trying and trying but people just don’t listen to them and they just wanna get along and not see people because of race
Isn’t it funny how the liberals the Democrats the party of slavery the party of the KKK the party of riots the party of communism are constantly trying to do this?
Imagine if race or religion determined the number of days, a child needed to attend school annually, the liberals would go crazy. It could be a possible solution to schools reopening. Open by race, and tickets for number of in classroom allocations lol.
The board meetings should be fun.
No. That is what equity means according to liberals - anything disproportionate is unfair, evil and proof of oppression. And oppressing more successful individuals and groups is necessary to get “Equity” and “social justice”.
Sorry...screwed up the html on last post.
China has already won. This is just piling on at this point. This nation’s future is bleak at best.
They gonna suspend sports like basketball (hoops) too? You know, too many brothas not enough honkys or asians? Just asking....for a friend.
“Too many whites and Asians...”
Is not that sentiment the very definition of racism?
I clicked the link, and it said couldn’t find.
Just found this.
More proof the Bell Curve is an accurate depiction of cultures.
So will they now ban basketball for not having enough ?
This is what will happen if they get control of health care.
I remember the time when I first read “Harrison Bergeron”. My Third Grade teacher assigned the story to the reading group to which I belonged.
The story scared the crap out of us. I remember thinking to myself, “Thank goodness that will never happen.”.
Boy, was I wrong. The “Harrison Bergeron” and “1984” dystopian nightmares are racing toward us at a frightening speed.
