The same thrust started happening in Canada recently as well. The Vancouver School Board recently eliminated its honours programs in math, science, and English in the name of inclusiveness: "By phasing out these courses, all students will have access to an inclusive model of education, and all students will be able to participate in the curriculum fulsomely". https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-school-board-cuts-honours-program-1.6068578 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-sc... There has been a similar move to eliminate the VSB's year-long gifted programs (Multi Age Cluster Class) by breaking it into six-week part-time sessions of which any student could attend some. Again, the proponents of the change see this as being a means to expand the "inclusiveness" of schools: “The model would enable students to experience full inclusion at their current schools while simultaneously receiving best-practice enrichment programming” https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/article-vancouvers-school-program-changes-draw-concern/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/arti...
