[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The staff is very white though. Like, white, white. [/quote]

Why is this a problem? They are great teachers, why discriminate against them because they are white? [/quote]

It's good for kids to be in a diverse environment and to see people of color in positions of authority.[/quote]

So you're making the case for hiring by race. That's affirmative action. Either you hire the best teachers or you don't. Dressing it up as being 'good for kids' doesn't change what's actually being proposed.

Why would you assume that hiring a non white teacher would mean the person is not qualified? You are assuming that non-white teachers applied and interviewed and weren’t chosen because they weren’t the best. Often, this is a recruitment issue - recruiting more diverse candidates gives you a larger pool to choose from. Trust me, there are plenty of qualified Black, Latino, Asian and other minority candidates who are qualified. Find them and interview them. What a dunce that you can’t figure this out. [/quote]
