With respect, I disagree: they would make up an excuse, and kill it.
I base that on the pulling down of all the statues to black intellectuals, notably Frederick Douglass.
That was done on the anniversary day of his most famous speech. Someone planned that who knew all about him.
I also base that on the number of black owned businesses and homes that were burned last summer.
I don't think black people who live lives that they enjoy, and get ahead in this white-majority country, who hold their heads up, and support capitalism, are going to be allowed to keep the things that make that possible.
This kind of school is one of the things that make that possible.
It's about killing American excellence and has nothing to do with race. Just my opinion.
Another possible scenario is that it will simply be bought by uh outsiders, who will rescue it, keep it open, and garner gratitude and loyalty for doing that.
Agreed. One of the things that happens when you cancel advanced and gifted classes is that the brightest kids, of every ethnicity, find dumb classes with dumb kids so boring that they tune out completely and come to hate school altogether. This is about destroying all gifted kid's enthusiasm and participation.
It's also worth noting that the school itself is mostly black and hispanic. Like <30% of the school was white so whites were disproportionately in the advanced classes well beyond normal demographics would dictate they should be.
Here the thing, if an advanced class was 80% blacks our society wouldn't be in the mess that it is currently because we wouldn't have racial issues. It's the fact blacks would never be in these classes that is the root of our problems in the first place.
It is so cruel, because the socially strong families have the money and the contacts to get their children into tutoring and also other schooling.
This kind of advanced public school is the only hope for bright children whose families do NOT have those things. It was their one leg up. So this is ANTI-poor, not pro.
On purpose, in my opinion. A successful black person gives the lie to "America is hell for black people no matter who they are or how smart they are, it's systemic." That's why the statue of Frederick Douglass, an amazing man and former slave, who tried very hard to help other black people, had to come down.
This happened in the Army in 1997 or so, exam for E7 had too many Whites scoring really well. So the army got rid of the fucking exam as a requirement for promotion. I was literally passed over because I am white!
Digital Cultural Revolution 2.0.
You have to give it to the CCP for retooling the first Cultural Revolution.
Now it's not quite as bloody and less costs politically.
The result is essentially the same though.
70 percent were white and asian. That still means one in three was something else. That wasn't too bad at all.
This isn't about color. It's about squashing thinking.
Advanced classes would have been cancelled if eighty percent had been black.
Doubt it. If they were 70% black , it would be celebrated.

Dear black parents, discipline your children.

I wonder how we’ll get to Mars, build skyscrapers, and advanced technology with equity math?
Just another way to push "Equal Outcome." What they don't understand is that human nature ensures there will be no Equal Outcome.
TC, this website is absolute garbage. Never link it again.
