It can be dangerous to let things get too caucasian.
Wait, I think I messed that analogy up.
No matter.
Brooklyn school cutting gifted program to boost diversity
A popular gifted program will get the axe after Ditmas Park school officials chose diversity over exclusivity.
Citing a lack of diversity, PS 139 Principal Mary McDonald informed parents in a letter that the Students of Academic Rigor and two other in-house programs would no longer accept applications for incoming kindergartners.
“Our Kindergarten classes will be heterogeneously grouped to reflect the diversity of our student body and the community we live in,†McDonald told parents in a letter posted on the photo-sharing site flickr and obtained by Ditmas Park Corner.
More than two thirds of the school’s roughly 1,000 students are black or hispanic while Asian-American and white students made up 28%, according to Education Dept. records.
At least one parent described the small gifted program, Students of Academic Rigor — or SOAR — as overwhelming caucasion, although others disputed that characterization.
McDonald didn’t respond to numerous requests for comment. A city Education Dept. spokeswoman said cutting the programs was the decision of the school.
One mother, a Sudanese immigrant, said the program was brimming with white students — but she was looking forward to her daughter joining after years of high test scores.
As with all socialism, they refuse to promote unequally shared skills and instead promote equally shared misery and ignorance.
someone else who is not welcomed in NY – who would have thought it?

Remember, the real goal of the Publik skool Sistim is not to actually educate people, but to ensure a steady supply of ignorant, uneducated drones who are easily controlled and do their Government Master’s bidding.
And even if that is not their express goal, the result is the same.
