De Blasio Considering Ending Gifted Programs for the Sake of ‘Integration’ and Reducing ‘Racial Disparities’

Bongino:

New York City mayor Bill de Blasio appointed a board that has come up with a proposal to “devise policies that will reduce the racial disparities between the selective schools and gifted programs, which are mostly utilized by white and Asian students, and the non-selective schools, which are mostly populated by black and Hispanic students” reports the National Review.

The proposal “would eliminate all selective schools and programs” all in order to “further integrate the city’s public education system.” The New York Times obtained a report written by de Blasio’s panel, which is “comprised of several dozen education experts.” These so-called experts claimed that gifted programs and selective schools have “become proxies for separating students who can and should have opportunities to learn together.”

National Review notes that The New York City public education system “is one of the only ones in the country that’s run entirely by the mayor’s office, rather than a board of education.” Because of that, de Blasio is able to implement any proposal without “input from the state legislature, the city council, or any other body.”

De Blasio has made it clear that he is not supportive of charter schools and giving family’s choices, even though “charter schools tend to produce better educational outcomes on average, de Blasio has argued they increase inequality.” read more

  1. All students shall be equally dumbed down and be stripped of the concept of excellence and achievement. That’s only chance that a socialist paradise can be imposed on the workers.

  2. Smart parents will quickly outmaneuver the board of cretins and find ways around this stupidity. Hell, the parents will probably find a way to twist it to their advantage. I know the Dems like to exult in the dwindling white birthrate, but what are they going to do when there aren’t enough white kids left to prop up the failing schools of color?

    Oh yeah, I heard today that there will be no 100 “Adversity Points” added to black and spanic SAT scores. They’re going to have to come up with another scam. We do win one every now and then.

  3. That’s what they voted for. They looked at LA and Chitcago and Baltimore and Detroit and said, “Hey! That’s for us!”

    These Commie hellholes have nothing to do with the USA that I know.

  4. Yeah, Mayor DiBlasio, like Larry the Lib,(?) are just regular commie assholes who should be tared, feathered. Keelhauled,
    ass kicked, whipped, beaten, dropped kicked; hit with an axe handle, coal shovel, ball bat, ball peen hammer, roofing hammer,That’s enough. I’m out of breath.

  5. Larry let slip the fact that he plays a role much like my father-in-law. Or many role players on Fox News. When he quoted Biden about the poor the poor being
    Just as talented as white kids, he revealed his hand.

    The ultimate devils advocate.

    Larry. You’re a cunning guy.
    Show your cards.

    /sorry. PHenry here. Forgot to do signature stuff.

  6. We have to make sure that everybody is as slow as the dipshit in the room. This is the same shit over, and over again — the millennial who can’t figure out how to cook a frozen pizza (and either eats it raw, and dies — or burns down the tenement), or the other dipshit who doesn’t understand that when the oil pressure idiot light is toggled on the instrument cluster it’s too late, or the other idiot who runs a petrol generator in his living room and kills everybody in the house, or the other idiot who STILL can’t do the equation 172-83=x because, even at 17 years old, he can’t figure out how to subtract 3 from 12…

    Great idea.

  7. It’s a race to the bottom with the Left. They are intent upon forcing each and every one of us into their ever-encroaching minimums. This is what failure looks like. But we’re all equal.

    F that.

  8. To him in opposite world, he supports Disintegration.

    Coming from the cuck eunuch married to a black lesbo and pretending to raise some other guy’s kid who clearly thinks he’s an idiot douchebag.
