Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner for mayor of New York City, plans to end the gifted and talented program for kindergarten students at public schools if he is elected, calling for a major overhaul of a program that has deeply divided parents. Mr. Mamdani’s campaign said in a statement that he would embrace former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan, announced in 2021, to phase out the gifted program for elementary schools, which has been widely criticized for exacerbating segregation. Students who are in gifted classes would remain in the program, but there would be no gifted program for kindergartners next fall, the campaign said on Wednesday.

I get it. Not enough black people qualify.

You can't give Gifted children any special treatment because if you do, it's be a bunch of white and asian kids getting boosted and we can't have that.

Thats progressivism.

Democrats.

Interesting. Zohran is the son of a Ugandan-Indian oligarch and grew up on a plantation in Uganda. He went to the finest schools surrounded by wealthy children like himself. But as mayor of NYC, he’ll make sure middle class children who have to go to the public schools can have none of those same benefits. It’s a disgrace.

Equity = bring everyone down to your loser level

Mamdani's parents sent him to a $66,000 a year private school.

Instead of elevating up the populace they want to bring everyone down to the same low level……

Give the people the government they vote for. Let’s see how this plays out for them

So the average public school graduate from that state will now have a 5th grade reading level as opposed to 7th grade?
I can't wait until he wins. I want NYC to collapse.

WOW bold move.
"from each according to his ability to each according to his need"
at least he's taking that mantra seriously.

Leftists believe equality is lowering everyone to the bottom.

Proof that the Dems effort is not about 'lifting people up' but dragging people down.
How are these kids fricking up non-gifted students' lives? By sitting in a classroom? That's like saying you can't have a varsity football team because it puts the JV in a bad spot.

This is the equity they love so much. You cant have high achievers that rise above non achievers. So they just drag everybody down and take away opportunities for differentiation.

Careful. I don't think that's a game you want to play.

Gotta make sure they can pay for illegals' healthcare, instead of offering advanced education for those US citizens that would benefit.

There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream, “Oppression!”
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
“The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light”
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe and saw

Since when does a mayor run a school district?
