Mathematicians and racists hate this one trick!
Pretty sure it's just the racists.
You can't just casually use "shot up" when talking about kids in school...
I'm glad I didn't have a drink in my mouth when I read this. Lol
Texas doing something right? I can hardly believe it!
It is probably by accident if it helps minorities instead of hurting them. Expect that they will change this rule back or degrade it somehow.
Not on purpose. They failed to realize that their racist policies would inadvertantly increase equality instead. That's what happens when your evil plans get so damn convoluted that they trust into an 11-dimensional tangle and explode. They accidentally dropped through the floor of evil and landed on top of benevolent
Nah, the title says they shot up a Latino and a black for doing math.
Im hearing quite a few good things about texas nowadays. Who knows maybe its actually getting better.
North Carolina has a similar law and our numbers are also increasing. I’m extremely happy that’s these states are beginning to level the playing field for students.
As long as everyone has an opt-out option, this seems like a really good idea.
I agree.
I have seen this backfire. When I was in high school ~25 years ago, the superintendent was trying to get his AP test rates up. There's the usual group of the smartest kids in school taking these classes, but they tracted in a kid none of us knew into my AP bio class.
I'm not sure what other classes they put him in, but he struggled and ended up dropping out and not finishing high school.
It caused something of a row.
