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

No, they’ll just import more doctors from India!

So:honors classes are associated with various academic “benefits” such as better attendance, fewer suspensions, better graduation rates, and an edge in college admissions.

BENEFITS????!!!!

I guess better attendance and graduation rates, good behavior, and superior academic performance are just more goodies handed out by the privilege fairy.

“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!”

California is heading towards Oregone, where quasi students don’t have to do math nor English to get a diploma.

This sounds good to the students of color and their parents.

The grim reality: These new not really grads will never be qualified for anything except to vote democratic in elections.

Soon, they will be on welfare for the rest of their lives.

They can do what Britain’s NHS does, import them from the third world.

I think it's like a Bell Curve.

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

Yes, I see what you’re saying, but more so than that, they are saying that the important thing is equality of outcome. The idea is that eliminating any opportunity for people of superior intellect and greater ambition to actually demonstrate that intellect and ambition will mediate their place in the social pecking order and allow people who are not so inclined to equal them.

Likely the ultimate outcome will be that people who have greater ability will find a different way to prove it, either by private school or by moving to a different venue.

There are students of all races in the honors classes. Eliminating the honors classes hurts minorities in the honors classes, perhaps hurts them most of all. No honor student is going to accuse a fellow honor student of "acting white" (or "acting yellow").

Equity - democrats putting their thumbs on the scale to cheat for student too lazy or stupid to win an honor’s seat.

I would like to extend a ‘welcome to the Republican Party’ shout out for all parents of Asian, White, Jewish, Chinese Indian, Vietnamese, German, French, Swedish, Ukrainian and English students - and to parents of black and brown students who have EARNED their place in honors programs.

You’re right on this - it’s intentionally insulting to black and brown students who earned their way into honors programs.

Yes. What we will not tolerate in the arena of entertainment, we demand as policy in education, government and defense. Madness.

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

And, of course, more money will be needed for remedial classes.

The parents of the honor students need to meet and deliver an ultimatum. Then pull their kids when it is refused.

Or cancel athletics altogether because some ethnicities do not excel as much as others. It’s maddening madness.
