EXCLUSIVE – New York City’s Department of Education is revamping its Gifted and Talented program for kindergartners with a woke equity agenda, Fox News Digital found.
DECE, or the Department of Early Childhood Education, posted a private training on what teachers should look for when selecting children for accelerated learning. The unlisted video has since been taken down.
According to the webpage on the program, “Students will be considered for eligibility based on behaviors that may indicate readiness for accelerated learning.”
The training’s slides were labeled as “DO NOT DISSEMINATE OR DISTRIBUTE.”

However, the training showed that for the upcoming academic year—2022-23—an agenda to achieve equity in schools will play a major factor in those decisions.
“Children need to be presented with opportunities to demonstrate gifted behaviors. These behaviors across all cultures, races and socioeconomic strata. The students we serve in gifted programs rarely proportionally reflect this scenario,” the training said.
