everybody was tested so why don't you just do that you could just make it so that everybody could be tested and make it so that there obviously we would see an increase in uh and you know equity or whatever as long as the test is okay and then okay you know like you said move the test from kindergarten to third grade or fourth grade these things have been studied for a long time this the message they're sending is that gifted and talented was inherently racist and that is where you know i just completely obviously get off the train and i see this very much in the vein of some other craziness that we see kind of happening across the nation where race racial outcomes themselves are the sole determinant of what we should be looking at and yeah it should be one determinant it should be a consideration it should be something well if you see zero percent of people who are black or whatever i'm not saying that's the case who are getting in usually hey what's going on here you know we have x amount of population what can we do uh you know maybe we could try this or that but instead they look at it and they just go that is inherently terrible and then they just kill it and you know in terms of the political implications of this this is the type of stuff which drives people crazy i mean when you start to mess with people people's kids and their education as you're seeing now some of the hottest protests in the country right now are masks and critical race theory maths in particular i would say like that one i mean i've never seen uh school parent parent-teacher conferences or whatever like that before critical race theory obviously whichever way you fall on that people feel real hot and they go and they uh they go to the mat for it you know people getting recalled on school boards and more this is the same type of thing marshall where you could absolutely see um some sort i don't even necessarily think it would be a republican because some of the people i'm seeing here quoted who are protesting are actually democrats who represent this is a lot to be clear this is new york city right everyone we're talking about is operationally liberal here right but so there from what i see is oh this is just sets another perfect if i'm eric adams it's one of the first things that i do in order to try and reverse if i'm eric adams when the very first thing i'm gonna be like hey you know what that was stupid we're gonna do what you said which is that we're gonna test everybody and have all this and brilliant nyc is gonna be our thing um well here's what's interesting about that um and this is the part which is super difficult here eric adams once again eric adams is i think despite everything a very good actual politician keeping his uh ear down to the ground eric adams is spoken up in favor of the gifted entitled program here is the thing and this is why you probably just can't just say we're going to reverse it the guidance is already out so the way it works is this this year's incoming cohort of gifted and talented students are going to be the last cohort so when it comes to these testing questions the system's been set up and once again
