[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] DP, but the issue will be whether a facially race-neutral policy adopted with a discriminatory intent is a violation. If they’d just switched over to allocating seats by middle school without creating the record that their intent was to reduce the percentage of Asian kids it would be a non-issue. In this case, the decision to switch over to middle school quotas was because they thought it would pump up the % of Black and Hispanic kids and reduce the % of Asian kids. [/quote] Loudoun got around this problem when they changed admissions to Academies of Loudoun by putting up a slide at the school board meeting saying 'Geography is not being used as a proxy for race.' and the speaker explained that to do so would not hold up legally. In the same meeting they said their goal was to 'increase the number of black and brown kids.'[/quote]
