Diversity, equity and inclusion — never in the field of human endeavor have so few words done so much harm to so many. It's almost as bad as "Brian Kilmeade's here," but DEI has done it again. Now, the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/seattle-public-schools-replacing-gifted-students-program-inclusive-citing-diversity-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seattle Public School system</a> is phasing out its highly capable cohort schools designed for gifted students who could skip the lessons designed for other kids their age. You know, nerds. But just when you thought Seattle couldn't get any dumber, it does something literally to do just that, and can you guess why? That's right, because it's racist. You see, those programs have too many students from the bad races. Last year, over 50% of the advanced students were White, 16% Asian, 3.4% Black. There just weren't enough Black, Latino, Indigenous, Alaskan and Pacific Islander students. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/seattle-public-schools-replacing-gifted-students-program-inclusive-citing-diversity-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPLACING GIFTED STUDENTS PROGRAM TO BE MORE 'INCLUSIVE,' CITING DIVERSITY CONCERNS</a>So I guess we could say goodbye to the NBA real soon, right? What's that? Oh, we don't use that type of insane reasoning when it's sports? What a strange demarcation. People say, "Don't do that with basketball, but let's do it with less important stuff.

And why? Well, it's not about how smart these kids are. It's not about what's up here. It's about what's on here. It's about what these kids look like when they're in a classroom together. It's about embarrassing their teachers and administrators just by being themselves. I don't know, but that sounds pretty racist to me. So now, instead of putting the brainiacs in their own class with their own teacher and curriculum, all those brats are being lumped together, and the teacher's expected to come up with different lesson plans for different levels. OK, kids, today's vocabulary word is mediocrity. Does anyone here know what that means? Mediocrity is what happens when the people who run our country force us all to lower our standards so the elites can pat themselves on the back for their atrocious beliefs. And that's what it's about: the continuing destruction caused by luxury beliefs, which are bad ideas that bestow status on the elites who hold them while inflicting pain on everyone else who must endure them. You see it with climate activism, criminal justice, and now here in education. An enlightened progressive already has their college degrees, their house and two electric cars, so they're immune from their own destruction, but God help your kids.<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/stop-punishing-gifted-students-war-merit-honors-programs-hurting-black-children-others" target="_blank" rel="noopener">STOP PUNISHING GIFTED STUDENTS: WAR ON MERIT, HONORS PROGRAMS IS HURTING BLACK CHILDREN, OTHERS</a>And so in Seattle, the smart kids will be reading "The Gutfeld Monologues," while in the same classroom, the slow kids will be reading "Get It Together" by Jesse Watters.

Finally, something every race can agree on, which is why the idiots who make the rules won't let us.
