It’s creating a generation of black and brown students that are uneducated and won’t be able to compete against anyone else. It’s the ultimate in racism. Overt racist policies couldn’t be more effective and de-educating these students more than these ”progressive” policies have. Half of Black SF high school students can barely read.

Decades of EXCLUSIVELY PROGRESSIVE policies have lead to this end result. There aren’t any Republican boogeymen you can blame for this damage these policies have created.
- PKop 3y agoIt is a reaction to generations of black and brown students that have been uneducated and haven't been able to compete against anyone else. So, eliminate the courses and the testing standards. It is because these brown groups were never performing at near the level of say Whites or Asians, that these policies are implemented. Eliminate any courses of distinction or difficulty, eliminate high standards that produce any outcomes of disparate performance. Flatten the overall strata of students by getting rid of opportunities of out-performance and differentiation. And then, filters of credentialism at elite or high level institutions drop standardized tests as qualification for enrollment. What results? Massive increase in brown student admittance [0], particularly from low-quality schools into high quality universities. Who loses the most? Whites and Asians who would have had opportunity through advanced course selection and standardized test over-performance. But both the courses and the tests are being eliminated. Does any of this help brown students become smarter? Of course not. But "Browns hurt the most, Whites supremacists victorious" is absurd. Look beyond the first level.

While the 2023 data won’t be available for some time, using 2022 numbers we can now begin to assess the impact of 2020’s dual body blows to higher education: the “racial reckoning” and the Covid-excused Not So Great Reset in which standards were lowered and policies made lazier and stupider." > There aren’t any Republican boogeymen you can blame for this damage these policies have created. Kind of a non-sequitur, this is obviously a massive left wing disaster, but the mainstream right is at least guilty of being so milquetoast in not hammering this nonsense harder, and many of them make the silly mistake like you of only ever saying a thing is bad if it harms Browns. No one ever sticks up for the Whites or Asians. The overall policy is an egalitarian disaster that aims to limit outperformers from advancing or being elevated above the broad masses of lowest-common-denominator "education". It's a leveling-policy. Democratization of education in the worst way.
