I don't think most Democrat voters want this shite either... but the legacy news media doesn't report on this shite, so they are oblivious. I have brought examples of this kind of stuff up with liberal family members in debates and they say I'm exaggerating or it's made up right-wing FOX News conspiracy... because NBC, CBS and ABC didn't tell them about it.

Why is it always liberal white women who think blacks can't do anything for themselves?

The “gifted” kids? Shouldn’t the “gifted” kids be able to handle algebra? Is her end game, in the name of equity, to stifle the education of the gifted kids so that they end up equally stupid with the dumbasses? This makes no sense, but none of this equity crap makes any sense.

So "equity" in algebra is to not teach it at all to middle schoolers?

What if, you know in the name of "equity", we actually spent MORE time and resources teaching it to black middle school students?

That is exactly what it is. She must think there is nothign we can do to get average black students to learn algebra, so therefore it's only fair that no one learn algebra.

make no mistake; this isn't some low-intelligence person applying dumb reasoning.

This is E.V.I.L. pure and simple.

There is no excuses or justifications for what's happening.

The left hates merit based employment. If you stunt the intellectual growth of smart kids the learning gap between them and the stupid kids shrinks. Thus, we have equity.

I can speak for our school district and say that algebra is taught before middle school. I would be very surprised if the “gifted” schools weren’t doing the same. Something just seems off about that headline to me and I couldn’t track down the article to prove otherwise.

Quintessential NIMBY leftist who experiments on others but not herself or her people. They're sick people and give no shits, it's all about their own selfish ego to feel fulfilled and you'll take your medicine dammit.

Why is it so hard for the left to understand that dragging down the top doesn't raise up the bottom? It only means that everyone swims in the same pool of mediocrity.

Thank you!

I went to the link but it sent me down a rabbit hole of another user and it was a lost cause at that point. lol

ETA: I see it was San Francisco that banned it. Why am I not surprised? I can’t imagine this ever happening in Clovis Unified.

Is it really a secret now that Democrats want to keep their voters as stupid as humanly possible? They do this in the name of "equality". Just sick and evil.

They understand this perfectly, just like they understand a man can't give birth. There is an end game here. It is sick and evil. Period.
