What to Know: The San Diego school district is lowering its expectations for minority students, in an effort to be “anti-racist.”
The TPPF Take: As President George W. Bush once pointed out, low expectations are a kind of soft bigotry.
“Expecting less from someone based on his or her race used to be called racism or bigotry,” says TPPF’s Tom Lindsay. “Condescension toward blacks hardly qualifies as ‘anti-racism,’ but rather, its antithesis. Instead of lowering grading standards based on race, how about this novel approach? We could judge individuals as individuals, not as first and foremost members of an identity group.”
