It’s worth asking why disparities exist, writes katesrichardson. But some activists intent on scrapping the system won’t even consider the possibility that those disparities are not a result of sinister motives or that the system can even be improved.
IntegrateNYC filed suit last year against the city for its Gifted and Talented programs, claiming that it created a racial “caste system.” The lawsuit also contended that the school curriculum “centers white experience” and accused the district of failing to recruit diverse staff and “dismantle racism.”
“The legislature, not the judiciary, is the proper branch of government to hear petitioners’ prayers,” Nervo wrote in the ruling. “The petition improperly seeks this Court to make education policy and, therefore, presents a nonjusticiable controversy.” Assuming that the differences are due to racism and hastily pinning the blame on the city for violating the state constitution’s Equal Protection Clause was irresponsible of the case’s plaintiffs. These kinds of issues are multifaceted, meaning that they are meant to be hashed out in policy discussions, not the judiciary.
When students struggle academically, the answer isn’t dragging excelling students down to meet the lowest common denominator. In a public school classroom with up to 40 students, it’s extremely difficult to tailor instruction to individual student needs. Gifted education programs give students who would otherwise become bored and disillusioned completing too-easy coursework additional challenges and opportunities.
