because it 'discriminates against black and Hispanic students' - but parents AND teachers say it will halt smart kids' learning and leave others 'behind'
New York City is ending its gifted and talented schools program for exceptional students and will put all children in the same classes, claiming that the current system discriminates against black and Hispanic kids.

What about its bakkabaw and fooppaw programs? No doubt they're invulnerable -- racemongering is the unchanging topmost priority.

Yeah, and only white European Spaniards are benefiting from the millions spent each year on Spanish->English translators.

How many of them could there be? I've always lamented that if there must be millions of foreigners, why can't they be French or Spanish (the 2 language choices in scool when I was growing up).

We had French, Spanish, and German in junior high. The German class had pin-on buttons made that said Küss mich! Ich spreche Deutsch!*
The principal made them stop wearing them; he said the were "unAmerican". But the county was heavily German. The neatest people you ever met. Their farms could be on magazine covers.
*If Mindy Libke had worn one, I probably would have gotten myself thrown out of science class.

Küss mich! Ich spreche Deutsch!

I lived in German town in Chicago. The three chair barber shop had a sign in the window that said, "Wir sprechen Deutsch".
There was a really great restaurant also with good German food. They first opened in 1946. They had really good Hasenpfeffer.
I heard they closed up several years ago after being in business for 70 years. It seems the demographics of the whole area had changed and was no longer German majority.
There was also a German-American who lived nearby. He had a Shetland pony boarded in his garage. He would drive that pony with a cart in the German-American Day Parade every year. If you lived in Germany and owned a horse and cart you were considered to be wealthy.
He was an insurance broker. He insured a business and was pocketing the premium. The business burned down. There was no policy. They found him hung the next morning in the horse stall/garage. :-/
