[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great article and we are going to see the same thing happen for TJ admissions in the next few years. Asian American students comprise 20% of FCPS population, but about 70% of TJ students.  That kind of "diversity" isn't acceptable to many, and there is a huge push to change the racial makeup of the school.[/quote]

And stuy and the elite nyc magnets - but for some reason people love it when the nba and nfl show a lack of diversity. [/quote]

This is pretty dumb.  The NFL and NBA are not educational institutions with a public mission.  They are revenue generating enterprises.  Their goal is to make money....period.[/quote]

Then why do a lot of large corporations, businesses, and firms have diversity quotas, programs, etc.? And why do people make a fuss when these companies don't have black people in upper management? These companies have even less "public" aspect to them than the NFL/NBA. Stop trying to deflect.  [/quote]

You are the asshole who is deflecting.  We are talking about school admission and you (or whoever) treid to get snarky about private businesses.  You got called on it.  Get over it.

Private businesses have the stuff you mentioned because they are good for business - whether it is PR or whatever.  These programs are good for the bottom line...period! [/quote]
