White enrollment barely moved (and is still far less than the percentage of the FCPS student population), the big increases were black and hispanic students. But it's racist because asians are no longer 3/4ths of the the student body |
Why don't WEALTHY whites decrease THEIR enrollment? That would be the most equitable. Perhaps the entire TJ school should be for POC to bring equity for POC. White people have had more opportunities for hundreds of years here. |
Well, are we comparing the two policies, or aren't we? Or are we looking at the new policy in a vacuum? In that light, it looks fine. The only reason C4TJ is complaining is because the numbers of students changed from one policy to the next, not because of anything specific about the new policy. |
White enrollment increased, no? How is that equity??? |
You're not very good at math, are you? |
Non-sequitur. Disparate impact does not indicate explicit discrimination or intent. Regardless, income level is not a protected class and there is nothing in the charter of TJ regarding favoring low-income kids in consideration of merit. |
An in round 2, that's how the board can achieve the diversity that they want. There is nothing illegal about quotas or admissions bumps for farms kids |
lol Arguing against yourself, there, aren't you? SMH |
Again, disparate impact is not proof of explicit racist policies or racist intent. You actually have to show the racist policy, or show the racist intent. The reason C4TJ is complaining is because of the racist intent, which lead to the new admission policies. The disparate impact that resulted is merely proof that the new racist policies were effective. If all C4TJ have are disparate impact, there would be no case. The case here rests on racist intent. |
What are you babbling about? The FCPS board made their racist intent well known through their communications and planning documents. |
I'm not sure how a racist board can ever implement anything without being challenged on the basis of already-established racist intent. Any change they make, other than reverting to the old admissions policies, will be regarded as racist and challenged in court. |
What I saw was that white enrollment stayed the same. |
So you didn't like the concurrence. Then let's just pretend it's not there, while we wait for Wednesday. Why not? |
So the new policy is facially neutral? I thought the argument was that it had disparate impact. |
Yes. White = 0% enrollment. To bring equity to POC. That's my calculation. |
