I think a big part of the issue is the changing of words to push an initiative more than it needs to be.
If my Savage forum membership is "cancelled" then I am gone, but if it is "suspended" I can come back.
If you look at the Boston education statements they claim they have suspended the program. If you go to websites that don't agree with the decision they claim they are cancelled.
This is a carefully selected change to stir up anger, by making it seem like advanced education is being taken away completely from those deserving of it. That should piss people off, but it's not true, yet.
I think it is fine to examine the equality of the Terra Nova test offerings and suspend the current influx of a program, especially since it's been declining in size for years anyway. But the investigation should be efficient, as well as any changes if they are needed.
If it's an issue of performance and not inequality then things need to keep going as they are. Inflating the impact of historical racist policies on modern education programs will do no good for anyone.
