This article at Hot Air is commenting on an article originally published at the San Diego Union which can be read here https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/education/story/2022-04-10/san-diegos-largest-high-school-quietly-eliminated-several-honors-courses-parents-are-outraged or here https://www.pressreader.com/usa/san-diego-union-tribune-sunday/20220410/281500754784095

I am appalled by this. The principal is using her position to forward her personal politics, by taking away opportunities from students.

For a student to be competitive for admission at one of the two local state colleges, San Diego State or University of California at San Diego, the student needs a least a 4.0 GPA. To get a high GPA, students take classes that score 5 on a 4 point scale, the honors or Advanced Placement classes. This principal isn't yet removing the AP classes, but she is removing most of the honors classes.

I love to watch the left do stupid things which basically shout that minority students aren’t very smart.

Dumbing down the schools for “equity.” No child left ahead.

That’s the ticket. Just dumb down all the courses and all the students. Homeschool your kids today and put a lazy ass government teacher out of work tomorrow.

And where do they want their doctors? From the bottom half of the class?

Right? They’re basically screaming from the rooftops that people of color are too stupid to compete in an open arena. And what do the people of color do as a response? Clap like seals… they don’t even realize they’re being insulted

So let me get this straight: If honors classes don't have enough minority students, they'll be canceled for everyone, including those few black and Hispanic students? Talk about taking your ball and going home!

Everyone will lose, but at least they will lose equally, and I guess that’s what matters to the left. “Harrison Bergeron” was supposed to be a warning, not a how-to guide.

San Diego High School Principal Michelle Irwin and the associated school board should be indicted, tried, and convicted of racist abuse of children. It’s too bad the sentences for this convicted leftist rabble could not include being publicly flogged.

Equity: “We can’t improve black performance, so instead we are going to cripple white people”.

Close to 30 years ago, we specifically moved to a neighborhood because the school district had a great honors program. The year after we moved there, they cancelled the honors program. They were getting too many lawsuits over not enough black students in the honors programs.

In the name of equity, the basketball hoops should be lowered by 5 feet.

All three of the high school’s honor students are probably upset.

Patrick Henry High School is the only high school in the San Diego Unified District where a parent would want to send their kid. A lot of those parents will send their kids to private school if they can.
