    The anti-woke counter revolution continues apace. Woke educationist foiled in their attempt to erase excellence in there attempt to achieve racial equity.

    Let me get this correct, he wants to hinder gifted children and their studies. :)

    I guess thats what Trump supporters call freedom.

    OK, I'm sure somebody needs to constantly remind the fascist WHY he promised this, but I'll give him his one positive checkmark for 2022.... that was a stupid plan.... advanced math needs to be available ASAP for students with those abilities...

    No, you got this one backwards.... Our favorite local fascist is doing the right thing here (certainly an accident)... this re-allows students to take advance math before 11th grade...

    I assume he's just trying to roll back everything done before him (like our Founding Fascist), but occasionally it leads to the right thing...

    I applaud this.

    When I was in high school I took honors/ap classes.

    They eliminated those classes a few years ago and the kids who were in those classes were put into thug classes to teach thugs math and history.

    It made students into teachers and to the people who were least likely to appreciate it.

    No, you got it exactly backwards.
