You are correct, and that’s probably why the intro to the framework, while it mentions equity concerns on this issue, breezes past them fairly quickly and spends a lot more focus on the evidence of more universal problems with the existing tracking approach.

The framework’s position is not “tracking is segregation that enables serving more able (or white and asian) students better” but “tracking is segregation that is a pedagogical disservice to students across tracks”.
