[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading the appeals decisions thread about insane wisc scores getting denied makes me wonder if there is more to the story at FCPS AAP this year.

Does anyone know if race is now being taken into consideration?[/quote]
Well the Principal can make the decision and if the Principal doesn’t like Black kids, she may discriminate against them when the initial pool goes out.  For example, the old Principal of McNair and now Principal of McNair Upper has a history of keeping Black kids out of the pool even when they have test scores high enough and even teacher recommendations.  When this sort of thing happens a group becomes underrepresented, then when they get called out, they may try to suddenly get as many Black kids in the program as possible to seem as though they are being inclusive.  When it gets to that point they may not care if they are picking the best kids for the program.  White Supremacy just doesn’t produce the best outcome for everyone.
