San Francisco progressives "de-tracked" Lowell High School a couple of years ago. That was quickly reversed, and I believe all the relevant school-board members were resoundingly voted out. Go Indians! "Progressives" have completely lost the thread. YES, racism created an unequal society, and much racism and inequality persist to this day. AND the answer is not to throw out all standards. Particularly at a school like Lowell, which was the best chance for a POOR smart kid to get a great education. The rich kids already go to Lick or University or wherever.
