>> honors English classes that were eliminated because they didn't enroll enough Black and Latino students.
How much of that can be explained by ESL speakers? California has an above average percentage of students whose language spoken at home isn't English and or who are themselves immigrants.
And is this one of these studies grouping Whites and Asians together (some activists started using the term "white adjacent" recently for that [0])?
>> The district earlier this school year replaced the honors classes at Culver City High School with uniform courses that officials say will ensure students of all races receive an equal, rigorous education.
"equally rigorous" can very well mean "dumbed down to the mean". It's actually what California aims to do by getting rid of advanced math classes (by grouping all students together the pass rate suddenly looks better for everyone! [1]). And that's not even touching some of the more controversial they plan to bring into the classroom. Now math is racist [2]
