Berkeley High Poised to Eliminate Science Classes Because They’re Too “White”

By Selwyn Duke

There are some things you just can’t make up — and many of them seem to originate in Berkeley, California. Berkeley really is stranger than fiction, and the latest example is a proposal to eliminate science classes at the city’s high school because, get the Digitalis, they’re too white.

Thomas Lifson at AmericanThinker.com treats the issue, writing:

The racial madness that has left-wing America in its thrall finds its apogee in the Berkeley, California public schools. Berkeley High School is now poised to eliminate science laboratory classes because "science labs were largely classes for white students." Eric Klein writes in the East Bay Express: "The proposal to put the science-lab cuts on the table was approved recently by Berkeley High's School Governance Council, a body of teachers, parents, and students who oversee a plan to change the structure of the high school to address Berkeley's dismal racial achievement gap, where white students are doing far better than the state average while black and Latino students are doing worse."

It's sick and getting sicker.

The soft bigotry of low expectations by the leftists strikes again!

To be equitable, high school basketball in California should be on the chopping block next...but heaven forbid we fall behind the world in basketball; science yes, basketball never. I begin to wonder if the movie Idiocracy is more prophecy than entertainment.

Oh, the humanity! As Bob Parr once said, the Governance Council is looking for new ways to celebrate mediocrity. The children aren’t scoring too well in science? Then kill the lab classes and use the money for something more “critical” (!). Level the students to the lowest common denominator, what a great education policy. It's more like "deny them any kind of real education"...
