[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oyster is not allowed to have racial preferences. If they talk shit to you at the test, remind them of this. If my child was denied and they were a native fluent speaker, oyster would be facing a discrimination lawsuit. They're not dumb enough to risk that, especially since the dominance designation is manufactured to get Latinos in the school- which is illegal. [/quote] What are you talking about?!? Oyster has never said anything about racial preferences--Latinos can be ANY race. So, if your bilingual child passes the test, Oyster can simply ask you who speaks Spanish in the immediate family. You better speak Spanish (especially once the interviewer starts speaking to you only in Spanish). You can sue all you want (any idiot can file a lawsuit). Oyster will simply point to the language about native fluency, and then your case is dismissed. There is absolutely no racial component to requiring an OOB student to have native fluency. [/quote]
