San Francisco's decision to delay Algebra for all students until the 9th grade in the name of "equity," is a really bad one. Black parents didn't ask for this, and this strategy won't achieve the equity that they're looking for.

Hard to accept: A lot of "anti-woke" people believe that being woke is all just a lot of bad decisions like this. This belief is due to framing by the far-right: any bad policy is "woke." I help them understand that Black families don't want this and didn't ask for it.

@mekkaokereke The City of Oakland did this a couple years ago, and all it means is that the kids with privilege and access pay for algebra through UC Scout or community college. I have no idea whom this policy is meant to help.
@peterme @mekkaokereke all the country kids in WI end up taking algebra when they start univ. and have to take the GED for formal acceptance. What a waste.

@peterme

It looks like a perfectly normal impoverishment tactic. Why?

Racism
