It should come as no surprise that a conservative think-tank would immediately blame "K–12 education’s love affair with 'equity'." I don't think I need to read any more of this.
- getnormality 1y agoI actually wanted to find a nonpartisan source, but couldn't easily find one that was willing to center the actual central point of the UCSD report: that the university can no longer identify math-ready students due to the removal of standardized testing from the admissions process, and they are begging for UC system to reconsider standardized testing.
- marssaxman 11mo agoThank you for looking for one!
- hellisothers 11mo agoAs a not-conservative with a child in middle school (in CA) this rings true though. We pulled our son out of a highly rated public school essentially because of this, the whole class was taught to the lowest common denominator.
- BobaFloutist 11mo agoSure, but I don't know that the NCLB Act is traditionally considered "DEI"
- porridgeraisin 11mo agoI've heard this for many years now, can you give me a concrete example or two? Note: I'm just curious, not even from the US
- apparent 11mo agoIf you look at the report, it shows the facts support this claim. UCSD has gone all-in on LCFF+ schools (low income, ELL, foster youth) and the explosion in math and literacy remediation is driven by these admits. One in three LCFF+ admits end up in remedial math, and the total remedial math population is more than 50% LCFF+ admits. What was the motivator for this post-2020 change? Equity, or the idea that outcomes for all groups should be equal (regardless of time/energy expended, of course).
