I don't know whether you're saying the honors/non-honors class divide is a bad thing. But if you are, you can go straight to hell.
They're trying to do away with honors classes in certain woke school districts. Lump all the kids, gifted or otherwise, into one giant heap of retards. It's appalling.
And you know what the chief irony is? You want to know why they're actually doing this? Get this: it's because they want to REDUCE INEQUALITY. Which is INCREDIBLE. Rich kids aren't going to stay in the public schools where they don't have honors programs. Hell, the overwhelming majority of them aren't even there in the first place! They're in private schools! They're just gonna go to private schools more and more, while lower- and middle-class kids stagnate in these dead-end school districts while doing nothing regardless of whether they have the skills to rise above or not.
It's amazing. It's utterly appalling. Don't get me wrong, the left does plenty of retarded things. But I've never seen something that was gonna accomplish the EXACT OPPOSITE of what it was supposed to do quite like this. Hell, even quote/unquote "antiracism" wasn't this bad.
But yeah. Sorry to go off on a tangent there. The rest of what you said in your post seemed more or less accurate, and I didn't want to incorrectly assume that you were saying classes for gifted kids should be abolished. But if you were: fuck you.
