San Francisco Schools Plunge Headlong Into Equity

Where liberals prevail, hiring and promotions are based not on merit but on equity. Liberals control most schools; shouldn’t the same principle be applied there? It will be in San Francisco:

San Francisco’s public school system is quietly rolling out a “Grading for Equity” program that will reportedly exclude homework or weekly tests from final grades and allow students to pass with scores as low as 21 out of 100.

With standards like that, Joe Biden could graduate.

Under Grading for Equity, semester grades will depend entirely on a final exam that can be retaken multiple times—even if students skip assignments or fail to attend class.

Passing the exam is not intended to be challenging:

[The] Grading for Equity system will allow students to earn an A with a score of 80, a C with 41, and a D with just 21 out of 100…

C used to be average. When equity has been achieved, everyone will be average — with average set to the lowest common denominator.

On a tip from Franco.
