I’ve been to Schenectady, and it really feels like a shell of its former self. The city is in a doom-loop with GE's decline, the city never really bounced back. Now, it’s like the struggles have trickled down into its school system. They're trying new concepts like 'grade equity,' but if students' grades are slipping, it feels like the city is still grappling with the same issues it had years ago.

"Grade equity" is yet another subversive tactic, meant to undercut the achievements of White students.

Respondents said their school adopted policies from a 2023 book, “Grading for Equity: What it is, Why it Matters, and How it Can transform Schools and Classrooms.” The author, (((Joe Feldman))), a former teacher and principal, (((consults))) with schools across the country to implement those (((policies))).

Every. Fucking. Time.
