Parents in Barrington, Rhode Island have slammed a woke school district for cancelling honors classes as part of a move to increase inclusivity and equity amongst students. 

Barrington Public Schools were among the best in the state and known for equipping students for Ivy League colleges but have plunged 119 spots in official rankings since it changed its approach to teaching in 2020. 

Parents voiced their outrage at a March 30 meeting, claiming the new structure of de-leveling - a system of universal learning - had impacted grades and access to merit scholarships for college.

De-levelling involves keeping all students, regardless of their learning abilities and strengths, in the same class by removing specialized programs.

A dentist father, who said he came from immigrant parents, acknowledged that de-leveling was was made for 'someone like me,' but said it will harm children, like his son, six, who also wants to be a dentist. 

'My parents came from Mexico, they didn't speak English. I went to school, I started off from kindergarten to third grade before my parents could actually read my assignments. You guys have your own idea of what diversity, equity, and inclusion means,' he said in a video obtained by Fox News.
