If their goal is to be antiracist, is the most effective policy to stop challenging advanced students? Maybe start with how to get minority students to be advanced proportionally, rather than punish those who are already advanced, who are probably disproportionately Asian Americans who are facing a lot of hate crimes and racism this year.
Do we propose mixing all groups of people to perfect ratios of societal values? Is it racist to not have proportional representation in any subgroup? For instance, is it racist that Asian Americans are overrepresented in elite schools relative to black or hispanic students?
I think the label racist is so overused, that we now have a new term antiracist which basically means "us" vs the "them" of racists. And yet is it truly racism we always are seeing, or is it class, economics, genetics, opportunity, health, stability, and many other things that cause disparity?
