AND the good students will say, " why should I try?"
The horrific irony of this of course is that is will simply incentivize already underperforming students to act out in class and miss coursework deadlines.

As an older (!!!) non-traditional student at my local community college, I find it interesting that many seats go unfilled by black students. A community college has many programs to help students get up to speed before taking college-level courses. Why aren't black students taking advantage of this? Racism? Hardly.

What they are doing is creating more demand for alternatives like private school or relocation to a different state.
Put that in your Teacher Pension pipe and smoke it.

AND the good students willalways be successful whatever jerry-rigging takes place to hide the obvious because that's just the way they are. This ties in perfectly with the thread by Shaman The Encroachment of the Unsayable--everybody knows it but are afraid to say it.

This isn’t about black students. They use them as excuse.
College game is about rich and dumb overseas students where patents are paying huge tuition fees.
Go to UCLA you’ll see people in classes getting masters degrees with no ability to speak English or do class work. They are getting their very expensive paper degree.

It is the chronic Western embarrassment and guilt that the pidgins cannot be elevated unless a very, very small percentage choose to elevate themselves. Western nations have carried the solipsistic delusion that superior culture and learning will be spontaneously embraced. Instead, they are getting a bigger crab bucket full of same ole same ole generation after generation.
They aren't schools, they are welfare holding pens justifying corrupt, progressive public service unions.
Instead of elevation, the whole mess is becoming more and more degenerate and unapologetic about its corruptions.

I still declare the good students will be disincentivised when the mean is brought down by the undisciplined. The indoctrination camps were not meant to educate.

I agree. Community Colleges are really the way to go if you want to get an education but don't have much money. They are surprisingly well run, even in California.

The move came about after it was revealed that just 7% of D or F grades are handed out to white students, while 23% went to Native Americans, 23% of failing grades went to Hispanics and 20% went to black students.
However, instead of trying to develop an actual understanding of why this is taking place, the school district simply announced that “discrimination” and “racism” were to blame before embarking on a complete do-over of the grading system in order to combat this apparent injustice.
Academic grades will now not be dependent on early tests (meaning students could flunk them and not have it affect their final grade), and grades “will now focus on mastery of the material, not a yearly average.”
Teachers will also not be able to consider non-material factors like bad behavior in the classroom and not handing in work on time when grading students.
The horrific irony of this of course is that is will simply incentivize already underperforming students to act out in class and miss coursework deadlines.
“The board will also review potential student disparities stemming from its zero-tolerance disciplinary policy on cheating in the coming weeks,” reports NBC News.

The San Diego Unified School District has announced that it will eliminate its previously used grading standards in order to “combat racism”.
The move came about after it was revealed that just 7% of D or F grades are handed out to white students, while 23% went to Native Americans, 23% of failing grades went to Hispanics and 20% went to black students.

The horrific irony of this of course is that is will simply incentivize already underperforming students to act out in class and miss coursework deadlines.
“The board will also review potential student disparities stemming from its zero-tolerance disciplinary policy on cheating in the coming weeks,” reports NBC News.
Once again, this will only have the impact of encouraging underperforming students to cheat more.
“This is part of our honest reckoning as a school district,” said SDUSD Vice President Richard Barrera. “If we’re actually going to be an anti-racist school district, we have to confront practices like this that have gone on for years and years.”
All of these measures are guaranteed to harm non-white students, not help them.
By way of the bigotry of low expectations, predominantly white liberal education officials are enacting policies that will increase the chances of Native American, Hispanic and black students leaving school with lackadaisical mental attitudes and poor skill sets, making their entry into the jobs market even harder.
“This epitomizes the liberal strategy for eliminating the racial disparities they endlessly obsess on: bring everyone down to a lowest common denominator. This debases education, as moonbattery debases everything it touches,” writes Dave Blount.
“Allowing progressives to take over the schools was a catastrophic error.”
