[quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting much of Ibram Kendi’s theories have influenced the course of public education in the last few years. The idea of getting rid of Gifted and Talented classes, tracking and dismantling AAP out of “fairness.”

Basically lower the bar to allow more people to pass the grade. Even if it makes the entire country less productive and forces classes to teach to the lowest common denominator or to disruptive students.

It’s akin to the same sort of progressive criminal justice, softened, approach we’ve seen to crime in the last few years, where the penalties for violent crime or shoplifting are simply less punitive (restorative justice as an alternative to incarceration etc) or have been eliminated altogether out of “fairness.”

Basically an all around watering down to achieve a perfect society, except that, as shown by test scores, and a 38% increase in violent crime in DC year over year from 2022 to 2023, this type of idealism based approach isn’t practical.

Maybe let the advanced kids succeed in advanced classes and maybe arrest and prosecute the violent criminals might work.[/quote]
