At least the target demographic is starting to wake up and find this insulting

Leftist social policy has as its foundation condescension.  Make that feigned pity.  It's the tyranny of soft expectations codified into programs in areas such as education.

Take Alabama's Plan 2020, which last month got the nod of approval from one of the federal government's premier should-not-exist cabinet-level departments, namely, education.

Students will now be broken into predominantly race-based categories — American Indian; Asian or Pacific Islander; black; English language learners; Hispanic; multiracial; poor; special education; and white — and expectations will be lower or higher depending upon the group.

For example, 91.5 percent of white third-graders should be proficient in mathematics, whereas only 85.5 percent of Hispanic students and 79 percent of black students will be expected to pass, according to the Tuscaloosa News.

But some parents are pretty outraged:

“I think it’s dumbing our race down and preparing our boys for prison,” said Tim Robinson, a black man and father of two elementary school children. “The teachers aren’t even going to teach all of them anymore. Not the black boys and girls. And if we sit by and let this happen, it’s on us.”
Other minority parents echoed his concerns.

I so wish I never had to remark again on nonsense about "systemic injustice" and "racial privilege" and "historical disadvantage."  It makes me embarrassed for our entire society.  The entire forward movement of our culture is predicated on the most vulgar and childish notion imaginable.  Both guilt-ridden whites and opportunistic blacks perpetuate it.  I guess the big question is, what would be required to remove any enticements for them promulgating this dog vomit?
