Seattle makes public school decisions based on racism

When you view everything in life through narratives of “oppression,” you end up accusing black families of being tokens for wanting their children to succeed.

Such is the case in Seattle, where Seattle Public Schools is eliminating its Highly Capable Cohort program, preventing students from taking advanced courses. SPS is doing this because, of course, its leaders don’t like the skin color of the students that make up the program. Evidently, there were too many white and Asian students, so now SPS is going to make the program a completely different one focused on being “more inclusive, equitable and culturally sensitive.”
