If there are high achieving black and latinos who could compete and get admission into the magnet programs, but are not in the program because of lack of information or because of lack of space in the program, then I can assure you for each of such AA/HI student, there are  tens of White/Asian students who are being excluded.  I think a bigger injustice is being done to these Asian/White students - because MCPS wants to play the race card and the numbers game.  A brain is a terrible thing to waste.[/quote]

You just said that it's a bigger injustice when a qualified Asian or white student does not get to participate in the HGC than when a qualified black or Latino student does not get to participate in the HGC.

That's appalling.[/quote]

I did not say that and you are lacking reading comprehension.

It is not 1 to 1 comparison. I am pointing out that an exponential number of qualified Asians/Whites are being denied admission for every single qualified AA/HI student. So, the educational needs  of scores of qualified Asians/Whites students does not matter as compared to one qualified  AA /HI student?

Every eligible student should be made to take the admission test.  If there is a need to have more seats, then create more seats.  If the additional cost of the magnet program is only $40 per student, then MCPS should make the parents pay that amount or ask the parents to fundraise for it.

If an eligible AA/HI student did not get the education they deserve then it is as much a travesty as when an eligible Asian/White student did not get the education they deserve.  Why have different standards for different people?[/quote]
