De Blasio Panel Wants To Eliminate 'Racist' Gifted Programs In New York Schools | Zero Hedge: A panel appointed by NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio to combat desegregation has recommended getting rid of public school programs for gifted and talented kids, as they are filled "mostly with white and Asian children," according to the New York Times.

If de Blasio adopts some or all of the proposals, "He risks alienating tens of thousands of mostly white and Asian families whose children are enrolled in the gifted programs and selective schools," the Times' Eliza Shapiro notes.
That said, the plan "may also face opposition from some middle-class black and Hispanic families that have called for more gifted programs in mostly minority neighborhoods as a way to offer students of color more access to high-quality schools."
