But now, New Voices is being forced to abandon its audition process, and forced to accept 52% lottery-chosen students who get those seats solely because they are “low-income, homeless, or speak English as a second language.” In the left’s war on standards, this is a new low. It’s one thing to make the case that a good basic education in public schools should be available to students regardless of language skills or IQ. But this is a school that specializes in one specific field, and now it’s being forced to reserve over half its seats for kids who may have absolutely no interest in, or aptitude for, that one specific field. Acting, dancing, and singing are not necessary for a successful life. No one has to do that stuff unless they want to. Drama and chorus are called “electives” for a reason. They’re not like math and reading.

Ага, знакомо это и по совку - борьба пламенных коммунистов с элитизмом. Закрывали интернаты для одаренных и все такое. Но чтобы напихать в интернат для одаренных 52% национальных меньшинств и бездомных? Это нужно не пламенным, а каким-то совершенно экзотическим умом обладать, типа путинских избранников.

Засрать все, что не просрано, просрать все, что не засрано.
