FCPS will decide after consulting with NAACP.

Given the under-representation of the AA demographic, it's clear their current process discriminates, so consulting on how to improve this with the NAACP seems like a great idea.

can't tell if this is a troll or genuine, this is joke this is exactly what they did last time and we got the crappy results we all see here aka less quality folks from advanced AAP centers and more random kids from other schools (thanks geogrpaphic quota) with lower GPAs and taking Algebra I in 8th. Folks taking Algebra 1 in 8th aren't advanced by any objective measure.

The most hilarious part is after all this the percentage of African Americans attending barely budged.

It's easy to tell which groups are being favored by looking at the ratio of %admit/%population for each demographic. This was more or less what the judge did to dismiss the case.

Yes, that ratio is a strong indicator that the test culturally favors some groups over others.

What does favoring culturally mean? Is it not intelligently?

A question asks a house has 3 bedrooms and 2 beds in each room. How many people can sleep in the house.

This is considered culturally biased because black people know that kids can sleep in the floor, two in the hallway, and one in the bathroom(quoting from Diffrent Strokes).

If you ask about how fart a car travels you are culturally biased against poorer people that may not own cars.

The question is not culturally biased, it's just very badly posed. Any math question should be worded so that it doesn't require any background information. In this case you have to add to the end of the question: "Find the maximum number of people that can sleep assuming each person sleeps in a bed and no more than one person sleeps in each bed." Unfortunately neither mathematicians, scientists, nor engineers came up with the terribly worded questions found on our kids tests. If the 'educators' were educated, we would never run into this problem.
