Students will no longer be allowed to take advanced Math courses until the 11th grade. Algebra and Geometry will no longer be offered.

The only way to ensure equal outcomes is to allow no one to advance.

This story really reminds me of “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut. I remember a time when this story was read in high school, but I guess now some schools are using it as an instruction manual instead.
