[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we have a poster who claims that county selects based on URM and [b]we have another poster who claims MCPS and the BoE are white supremacist[/b].  Isn't there a middle ground somewhere for these two posters?[/quote]

Nobody is claiming that. That PP's point was that MCPS did nothing about the problem until a certain group of affluent parents started yelling about it, and that certain group of affluent parents didn't start yelling about it until the problem affected [i]their[/i] kids.[/quote]

Right. The problem of qualified kids not being given access to the curriculum has been around as long as there have been magnet programs. But MCPS didn't get its act together to start differentiating in home schools until a certain group of parents perceived that their kids had been passed over. Even though, anecdotally from information night it seems that white and Asian kids are about as well represented in the program as they have always been, folks perceive bias and so MCPS is finally doing what it should have done all along.
