Fourth, fifth, and sixth graders will not be accepted into advanced classes in Boston for the next year because a majority of students in those classes are white or Asian.
GBH News reported that the selective program, called Advanced Work Classes, will suspend enrollment in part because of the pandemic but also because of “concerns about equity.”
The school district analyzed the demographics of the program and found that “more than 70 percent of students enrolled in the program were white and Asian, even though nearly 80 percent of all Boston public school students are Hispanic and Black,” GBH reported.
“There’s been a lot of inequities that have been brought to the light in the pandemic that we have to address,” Superintendent Brenda Cassellius told the outlet. “There’s a lot of work we have to do in the district to be antiracist and have policies where all of our students have a fair shot at an equitable and excellent education.”

There is the beginning of an effort here in Marxachusetts to inform any educators, administrators, and especially parents willing to listen and to begin to stand up to the Critical Race Theory peddlers. But it will be an uphill climb and they have too much of a head start on us, support from the RINO governor and the rest of the "Wokalists" politicians and their virtue-signaling SJW crowd who will sacrifice even their kids' educations and futures to their ideology of "Whiteness is Racism".
