No, we don't.  Merit means academic performance in the classroom and the actual admission test. Merit does not mean race, gender, or low SES, or being zoned to poor performing schools.   Please do not twist the meaning of merit to mean what you think it should mean.   This is social engineering for a problem (achievement gap) that MCPS has failed to solve by actually teaching poor performing URM students.  MCPS has played the race card very cleverly and divided the parent community. They have made highly gifted students and high performing racial groups the villains, whereas the truth is that they have failed to bring up the standards of education and achievement of URM students for years now.   We have many  students who are functionally illiterate  and they are graduating out of MCPS.  All MCPS cares is the optics that many delusional people buy.  This is a way for MCPS to be absolved of all responsibilities to not bridge the achievement gap. In fact in the last 7 years the gap has widened.

If you think that MCPS is admitting undeserving kids to the magnet programs based on their race or gender, then you should report MCPS to the state or to the feds. Because that's illegal.[/quote]
