[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]

I didn't say that. Read it again. My point was that race shouldn't be the hiring criterion, not that minority candidates aren't qualified. Wider recruitment to find the best candidates from a larger pool? No objection, of course. But that's a completely different argument from what was originally posted, which was about the racial composition of the staff being a problem in itself. Don't move the goalposts and then call me a dunce for not following you there.[/quote]
