Here in SF Lowell High School used to select students based on academic credentials. Activists now created a lottery system [0] and it's already lowering the bar for the material presented in class [1]. I guess now kids with money will just go to private school instead, and the smart, motivated students not picked up by the lottery will have to study "racially equitable math" [2] at the local public school, where advanced classes won't be available since they are deemed not equitable [3].
