This is literally just saying black students are stupid because they are black and are given a handicap score because of it. Which, last I checked, was extremely racist.

    Is anyone still making appointments for a black surgeon or a black attorney?

    black surgeon

    Are there any? Not sure I've ever even seen a black general practitioner.

    Last I recall the kids segregated themselves, even in the workplace. At lunch blacks tend to sit together.

    When you scream that everyone's equal, but then decide that you have to “adjust classroom grading scales to account for skin color or ethnicity of [your] students.” SMH.

    Why would you send your non black kid to that school?

    What do they call this nonsense: Participation Diplomas? Education Reparations?

    So it's affirmative action all over again with a new name.

    They might as well just give them diplomas and not bother with the process of having them attend.

    Why not just give everyone an A? Doesn't get more even than that. Life will sort everything out very quickly after high school. Once they're out of high school, life will teach them that they don't know shit, either at a college or university they are not prepared to attend, nor capable of succeeding, which leads to a menial job you'll have for the rest of your life, or just skipping the college thing and going directly to work at a menial job for the rest of your life.

    It seems they never really said it would be race based....opponents of it did.

    They really wanted to stop penalizing grades for absentees and homework not turned in, also unlimited test/quiz retakes.

    Apparently, they point out that certain races seem to statistically have an extreme problem compared to others, with being able to attend school regularly, turn in homework, or study for tests. So, the plan is to bend-over backwards for them.

    Yet, I think the wording makes it clear this was all an attempt at racial equality, so the presumptions of the opponents are a reasonable concern, as this plan likely devolves to race-based grading with the unwritten parts.

    The no zero's for undone work or absentees is an interesting concept, that I'm on the fence about. The concepts they use to rationalize it, seem to be "growth" based grading, which is utter nonsense in my opinion.

    Our education system is meant to teach you a certain, set, amount of things in a specific time period. Grading isn't meant to be participation trophies to make you feel good for trying hard. It is meant to evaluate your progress in learning the required material in the time allotted.

    This whole focus on "equity" it total education-system damaging idiot-talk too.

    The education system really just needs to appropriately sort people into the job class they will be most effective in.

    Instead of studying and paying attention in class they act like monkeys in class. Give them an A, Critical Race Theory instead of Math.
