[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The W parents really can’t help but reveal their racism, can they?[/quote]

NP and Actually—what’s Weird that this post only revealed your OWN racist worldview—
OP didn’t mention or even suggest race at all. Just emphasized that not all students perform at a high level or choose to meet high standards even when provided the resources to achieve a high outcome. So for the resultant be equitable, the system necessarily must  prevent high achievers from out-performing lower ones.

It is YOU who assumed that those who would under-perform would not be white (or Asian I assume?)—since you also assumed OP is representing a viewpoint at the W schools, who can is majority white/asian.

But OP never suggested either of these things.
It is you who is displaying racism by your assumption that an underperforming student would naturally need your protection from “racist” W parents—since, in your mind, the underperforming students can’t possibly be white? That’s concerning on many levels. Look in the mirror. [/quote]

Do you not know what the word equity means?  Why would you need to prevent high achievers from outperforming lower ones to make things equitable?[/quote]
