Seattle Schools Closing Cohort Program

[esmith]

Seems that the Seattle schools have come to the conclusion that there are too many white children in the advanced learning classes.
That is at least what the superintendent of Seattle’s public schools thinks according to the following quote from:

The superintendent of Seattle’s public schools, Denise Juneau, says the primary reason these courses (which are majority white) are being eradicated from their school system is that “the programs for advanced learners turned the school into ‘a slave ship.’”

Typical of woke politics. Cut off the brightest and best in favor of their dull and dimwitted activist agendas.

No wonder white replacement theory, while notably misguided, has taken hold.

Besides, I wonder what it does to colored people who are academically gifted with a bright future and how they feel they are as well being tossed to the radical dogs. Hypocrites. They don't know a priceless gem if one was sitting in front of them.

Typical, instead if trying to bring other kids up to the standards to get into the classes, they just eliminate them and lower the standard for everyone. Brilliant. This is what equity brings you.
