This is the beginning of "racial equity" policies the radical left wants to implement in education.
They want to defund and remove all chances for the most talented students to be challenged and reach their potential, because too many of the top students are white or Asian. They don't care that this destroys the potential of gifted black and hispanic students, too.
So, in the short term, parents of gifted and hard-working students will have to try to find a way to get their kids out of public schools and into charter schools, private schools, or homeschooling. Gifted students whose parents can't afford another schooling option will languish, bored, frustrated, and developing a bad attitude towards school, learning, and society in general.
Long-term, these pernicious ideas and policies will work their way into private and charter schools, too. We're already seeing some of them (radical pro-LGBTQ "tolerance" courses, LGBTQ clubs, and "anti-racism" courses full of BLM, Marxist and CRT propaganda) make their way in to even top-performing private schools. Unless there is hard pushback from the right half of society, private and charter schools will start feeling pressured to divert ALL resources from advanced courses to help the "underserved."
This is the sort of policy that moves our future ever closer to Idiocracy.
