You have to lock the serfs in their place.
The NYT is racist for saying blacks and Hispanics are stupider than whites and Asians. Boycott the NYT!
Straight out of Harrison Bergeron.
Teaching to the lowest common denominator.
I hope De Bozo is successful in this effort. I couldnt think of a more effective strategy to chase Asian immigrants away from the Democratic Party.
And the gifted students must wear headphones that emit deafening noises and glasses that distort their vision.
This is going to be Great, 1972 all over again, That’s when Busing started in Los Angeles
Next is when the Asian kids dominate the New York State Regents and AP tests those will be banned too.
The gifted programs are BS. Beethoven and Mozart were gifted. The typical kids in these programs are brighter than average, but in no way gifted. What they really are is a way to implement a limited form of tracking, where bright kids are in the same class with other bright kids and the dumb kids are with other dumb kids. The idea being that teachers can explore more advanced material in classes full of bright kids while slowing down with classes full of dumb kids.
Note that black and Hispanics are NOT denied access to the gifted program if they show academic success and promise.
Also note that not all white and Asian people are in the gifted program either.
Nope - DeBlasio is demonstrating what communism actually is.
You cannot excel - you must be part of the herd.
Because the lowest common denominator is what launched the world into the space age
Asian parents in the Bay Area went nuts a couple of years ago when the Democrats proposed doing away with merit selection to California public institutions. (Prop. 209 prohibits consideration of race in admissions.)
Thats exactly how I describe it.
It is easier to destroy than to create. If successful, De Blasio may well destroy NYC public schools' oases of excellence. Some parents will shift to private schools. Others will move.
Even Communist countries like the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China sought out and had special programs for talented students.
NYT (at least in the part I read) forgot to mention Jews. Gotta keep “certain school” from being dominated by “certain people”: Whites, Asians, Jews.
ROFL!!
Have to make it fair!!
As long as they don’t take having a cohesive family unit into the equation.
Having a dad is so 1980s :)
Why the hell do Asians vote for democrats?
They are being totally screwed one side up and down by the democratic party.
Yet they vote for them.
