Seattle closes gifted and talented schools because they had too many white and Asian students, with consultant branding black parents who complained about move 'tokenized'

Seattle ended its gifted and talented program due to racial inequities

Teachers are now required to make individual learning plans for all students

Some parents fear their students will get left behind and slow their progress

Seattle has shuttered its gifted and talented programs because the school board determined they had too many white and Asian students.

The bad news is, I read the other day that the cancer is now at 14%.

It is metastasizing.

No one has an issue saying folks are more talented on a sports field but once you say some folks are more intellectually talented than others all hell breaks loose.

Even if it’s not everything you wanted, take the win and shoot for a little bigger win next time.

Instead like every liberal it’s throw the baby out with the bath water.

“Racial Inequity” is one of the most self-destructive ideas to EVER come down the pike and implemented. Whites and Asians are smarter. Sorry, not sorry.

I don’t see the NBA or NFL allowing a bunch of average size slow arse white dudes in the league to play. “Racial Inequity “ my arse.

That’s the thing about all the DEI bullsh!t, it doesn’t lift the minority up to a higher level, it brings the majority down to a lower level.

Everyone loses.

During a January 22, 2020, school board meeting, parents of black students in the Highly Capable Cohort asked the board to consider finding ways to incorporate students of color into the gifted program rather than shut it down.

Then school board vice president Chandra Hampson slammed those parents saying, 'this is a pretty masterful job at tokenizing a really small community of color within the existing cohort.'


That's how you can tell these were not the average black parents of today...That woman would have had her arse beat if she said that at Southern or Grambling.

Wasnt but just a couple years ago that Progressives would lie to your face and swear "equality of outcome" was never their goal.

Neil Peart wrote a song about this 50 years ago.

The Trees

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples
And they're quite convinced they're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light

But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade

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

“Racial Inequity”


Only matters when the numbers disproportionately exclude (if it is something good) or include black people (when it is something bad).

Weird part? I went to a speech by Ralph Nader at my college decades ago and he complained about this same thing, but aiming it at the World Trade Organization instead.


When you have gone so far that Nader is to your right, you done fricked up.

Weird thing about Nader is that when he ran on the Green Party ticket for President he never talked about the environment.

Majority white? Yes

By far? No since there is a fairly large Asian and Pacific Islander population.

More Mexicans too.

Compared to the black population. The entire state has a similar amount as just New Orleans.
