[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Baltimore is now spending $1400.00 per tyke yearly to NOT teach them how to read.
This is EQUITY whose aim is to turn out village idiot's!!

Leftism cannot survive without village idiots.

Equity is helping people that need help

No, it's passing off dumb ***** like YOU as just as intelligent as Einstein.

Show where anyone has done that

It is more Conservative misrepresentation

 

[rightwinger]

This thread is about "equity in education" do to to keep up.

Punishing the intelligent students by not allowing advanced studies is BOOK BURNING.

Trying to "dumb down" all students hurts us all. Only the low IQ democrats can't see it.

The only one I see banning AP classes is Woke DeSantis

There is a difference between real AP classes and fake/woke AP classes.
That's the problem when trying to "dumb down" and "indoctrinate" students.

By canceling AP math and science classes democrats are in-fact burning those books in the name of "equity".

So if you have a gifted student the only option real PARENTS have is to suck it up and send them to a private school.
The public schools will continue to be "holding pens".

Then property taxes should be equal

Property taxes are based on mil rates those rates are set by each town or city and along with assessed market value of the property determine the tax paid.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Democrats are eliminating all advanced studies for gifted kids.

No more "honors" or AP math and science.

Equity is bastardized equality where some SJW government idiot puts their finger on the scale to tip the favor to the side they feel is "worthy"

I am not familiar with that being done out of “wokeness”
Can you provide some examples?

AP classes are being cancelled throughout liberal jurisdictions for the same reason that high schools throughout Northern Virginia hid from students the fact they were named merit scholars: because they are mostly white.

Leftists are desperate to dumb down the curriculum and suppress the advantages that gifted students have - all in the name of “equity.” Discouraging our best and brightest students is the primary way to lower the caliber of the entire country.

People who vote for the nonsense the Democrats are pushing are either a) evil or b) stupid.

And the worst part is that it is selective for intellect or educational drive only. Kids good at sports can still do that, kids good at socializing and being the "cool" kids can still do that. Kids better at things outside educational pursuits (art, music, dance) can still do that, this only targets academic achievers. So they lose their thing, and others keep theirs.

I was in honors classes, and their main purpose has always to make sure the smart kids aren't bored in school, so they don't lose focus on their education.

Teaching the 1619 Project as "history" is "wokeness". Its "fake history", otherwise known as "a bunch of lies". Lets look at two "woke" topics:

A. The 1619 Project was published in NYT Magazine August 2019. It was an essay written by Nikole Hannah-Jones without any citations or references. It is simply incorrect, as documented and refuted by real historians. It is simply an amateurish attempt to "reframe history" and "decenter whiteness" according to the author. It is ideology pretending to be history.
Some of the unsubstantiated and simply incorrect claims include:
1. America was founded in 1619, not 1776
2. The reason for the American Revolution was to protect slavery
3. The US Constitution is anti-black
4. The founding ideals were all false
5. That slavery didn't exist until the US started it

The 1619 Project is nothing but a poorly written collection of racist lies.
There was no research, there are no citations, its total bullshit.

Arm yourselves.

The examples are instructive. At a series of events at the Treasury Department and federal financial agencies, diversity trainer Howard Ross taught employees that America was “built on the backs of people who were enslaved” and that all white Americans are complicit in a system of white supremacy “by automatic response to the ways we’re taught.”

In explaining critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. Originally, the Marxist Left built its political program on the theory of class conflict. Marx believed that the primary characteristic of industrial societies was the imbalance of power between capitalists and workers. The solution to that imbalance, according to Marx, was revolution: the workers would eventually gain consciousness of their plight, seize the means of production, overthrow the capitalist class, and usher in a new socialist society.

Excellent points. They are only punishing the academic achievers, and that now school will become boring to them.

I was on the “gifted track” beginning in elementary school, and by fifth grade, all our textbooks came from the junior high. Unfortunately, our street was “re-districted” into a different school - one without tracking - and for the next two years, I was bored silly as I had read and mastered all the books we were reading two years earlier.

My parents, alarmed at the effective halt to my learning, moved into a new neighborhood In a better school district, where my education resumed. (The other reason was that our neighborhood was becoming very antisemitic.)

I didn't get into honors programs until high school, because at the grade school level most Catholic Schools in NYC were single track. What saved my was the elderly nun who ran the Library who gave me access to more advanced books she kept behind the wall closet doors. So while my classmates were reading 4th-8th grade books, I was reading the Time-Life series on WWII, a book on dreaded diseases, and a book on the largest volcano eruptions in history, all at the high school level at least.

Sister Virginia saved me from boredom until I got to high school.

Here’s another angle to the disaster the Left is foisting on our best and brightest: putting ALL students in the gifted class! Yay, equity!

At Wagner Middle School in New York (where city-wide only 37% of students are proficient in math), ALL 7th students are being placed in “advanced” math classes. This is the backdoor way to killing off TRUE advanced classes.
