[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]choice study showed that there weren't many blacks and hispanics in HGC or magnet programs.

Among the findings of the Choice study: While these programs were initially designed to promote voluntary racial integration within MCPS, the 14.5 percent of the county school population currently participating in them is disproportionately white and Asian-American. The study has produced a divide, to a significant degree along racial lines, between those who benefit from the status quo and those who want to see it changed. Says the Board of Education’s O’Neill: “People feel very passionately in Montgomery County, and if it’s going to gore your ox, or, as you perceive it, take something away, it’s a very difficult situation.”

So they went and gored to the ox to racially diversify the CES and Magnet programs.  [b]Smith furthermore said he doesn't care about highly performing students, since the're not the ones getting incarcerated. [/b] Would rather focus on kids not performing.  [/quote]

Reading comprehension - the article attributes that statement to Rice (I assume that is Councilmember Craig Rice but the excerpt posted here does not say) commenting on the challenges facing Superintendent Smith.  It is not a quote from Smith.[/quote]
