This is sheer insanity, even by California standards:

Berkeley High May Cut Out Science Labs
The proposal would trade labs seen as benefiting white students for resources to help struggling students.
By Eric Klein

Berkeley High School is considering a controversial proposal to eliminate science labs and the five science teachers who teach them to free up more resources to help struggling students.

The proposal to put the science-lab cuts on the table was approved recently by Berkeley High’s School Governance Council, a body of teachers, parents, and students who oversee a plan to change the structure of the high school to address Berkeley’s dismal racial achievement gap, where white students are doing far better than the state average while black and Latino students are doing worse.

Paul Gibson, an alternate parent representative on the School Governance Council, said that information presented at council meetings suggests that the science labs were largely classes for white students. He said the decision to consider cutting the labs in order to redirect resources to underperforming students was virtually unanimous.

Berkeley can defund all the ‘white’ programs they want, but until these spineless liberal cowards address the real problems affecting minority students such as fatherless households, gangs, prostitution, rampant drug abuse, and the social stigma of academic achievement being equated with ‘acting white’ and therefore subjecting said achievers to violence, ridicule and ostracization from their own ‘community’, they will accomplish nothing beyond furthering the destruction of the very communities they think they’re trying to help.
