Half the time, one almost wonders if radioactive waste from North Korea has permeated the water supply of the West Coast.
As literally nothing else could explain the insanity that has been emanating from California, Oregon, and Washington as of late, especially with regards to their increasingly insane public school systems.
Or Marxist indoctrination systems, really, with a massive dash of DEI division.
Perhaps all of these schools wish to just graduate utterly absurd protestors, who seem to have multiplied exponentially ever since Biden assumed power.
After all, schools across California apparently refuse to teach math normally because it’s “racist,” schools across Oregon are literally graduating students who can neither read nor writer, and now schools across Washington are taking aim at the few students left who actually want to improve themselves and their life prospects.
Seattle, in all its “Defund Police” wisdom, has decided it’s a great idea to terminate the gifted programs across the school system.
Those programs would be designed for students who work hard, have potential, and do not attend private school for whatever reason.
Hence, the gifted programs offered an opportunity for those students to work harder, become more skilled, and eventually become a major contributor to society.
Alas, Dems can’t stand the thought of that, so they’ve decided to kill the gifted program entirely, much to the upset of various parents.
And the reason for killing the program is outrageous, to put it mildly.
According to various school officials, such gifted programs are apparently racist, and ending the gifted program for hardworking students is apparently the best way to achieve an “inclusive, equitable and culturally sensitive” environment.
In other words, adopting communist style tactics by making everyone the exact same.
Astonishingly, school district officials have actually claimed that part of the reason the program will end is due to 70 percent of “gifted students” being white.
“Numbers would suggest that within our city … predominantly white children are more gifted than other cultures and races, and we know that is absolutely not true,” Kari Hanson, the district’s director of student support services, sniffed.
Uh, sure, Ms. Hanson. Whatever you say.
School officials, of course, continue to gaslight over what they’re really doing, insisting that they’re merely improving programs for students.
“The program is not going away, it’s getting better,” the school officials insisted.
Oh, sure. “Getting better” in terms of decimating gifted students’ potential.
Parents don’t buy into any of the lame excuses either, and they are extremely frustrated with the decision of public school officials opting to ruin the few remaining opportunities available for students that actually want to work.
Karen Stukovsky, who has three children in the gifted program, is definitely concerned by the turn of events for the worse in Seattle public schools.
“You have some kids who can barely read and some kids who are reading ‘Harry Potter’ in the first grade or kindergarten,” Stukovsky remarked.
Well, if it’s up to the Dems, none of the kids will ever be reading again.
