The lowering of expectations is one of the true crimes of the left. Hell, some of these cities like DC continually fail to meet reading and math standards and it harms every student.
Boston was even canceling advanced placement classes because not enough minorities could test into it. They had 70% of the class being White or Asian when 80% of their district was Black or Hispanic. That harms all of their students and devalues the education they could have received.
I'm a product of Massachusetts public schools. We had advanced placement for the smart white kids and the Asians. Regular classes for the dumb white kids and the Puerto Ricans. And then down in the basement next to the janitor's office we had the cage where we kept the black kids, when they bothered to show up to school at all.
Imagine that coming from an institute of higher learning. It sure is hard to be old and watch history repeating itself and no one listening to the blatant warnings
Seperate but equal graduations. I can't help but feel that Democrats already tried that approach before. Perhaps if they had more History requirements in the program instead of all of the communist revisionist history...
This makes no sense to me. I sure hope this isn't another cultural shift that Democrats try to make as a national trend. I fear it will be since Democrats have such a strangle hold over the education sector.
My High School graduation was whites only... because all the black kids have either dropped out or were in jail by that time.

It was a good system, ngl.
We're quickly approaching a world where The Babylon Bee is hard news.
50+ years ago, this would've been the norm. Then it was frowned up. Now we're....going back? With...progressive...ideology? HONK FREAKING HONK

Yeah that's where I got my B.S. Economics degree. Emphasis on the B.S. Had to reducate myself on my own time while working.
Works for me!
