Advanced Academic Programs (AAP)

"We need quotas for all public high school programs such as sports, band, orchestra, cheerleading, drama, choir, SGA etc. Equity demands it."
Maybe even a paint sample strip so we can accurately measure skin tones and make certain every color is represented. |
Oh I see. So raise the bar for those pesky Asians. Let's handicap the system, no prepping for Asians, lots of prepping for URM, little prepping for white peeps. Kind of like SAT scores at the Ivies. |
Don't forget about hair color and eye color too. Also need to get a representative height/weight distribution. |
This. 5 billion times this. |

Yes! And those All-Area Bands?! What is THAT about! Those kids clearly “prep” by hiring a weekly private lesson instructor when other kids in the district can’t afford that and some kids have the privilege of being able to practice 30-45 min a night while others have to spend time watching their little siblings while their parents are working an evening shift. It’s all so unfair so clearly we should not reward good players with the opportunity to be selected for a special ensemble. Scrap it. Let everyone join who meets the “revised admission requirement” of playing a basic scale and having perfect attendance in band class. It won’t be a top-level Area Band ensemble anymore, but hey, at least it’s “equitable,” right? |
+1 Cheerleader tryouts are particularly unfair. Some kids can’t do a back handspring while others can! Look at all those “preppers” whose parents enrolled them in private gymnastics classes from ages 3-14! It’s a public high school! We can’t be setting some kind of tryout standard that rewards kids whose parents had the money to put them in gymnastics classes! Therefore the tryout routine is biased since obviously those kids would be at a competitive advantage over kids from lower socioeconomic groups. Why is this argument any less absurd than it is for academics? |
Because it’s cheerleading, not academics, moron. |
DP- Explain why the rules should be different idiot. Let me guess-it’s because your kid is a dumbass. |
honey, as long as it is tax-payer funded it comes under the same scrutiny. |
Clearly it has not, nor will it. Gimme an F! Gimme an Off! |
