[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the relevant point is that every time MCPS plucks out an area based on the demographics to achieve a more racially and economically balanced quota its going to get challenged. At some point, some school system and it very well could end up being MCPS is going to get a case that goes up to the Supreme Court. Justice Roberts was pretty clear in his statements during the 2007 case that disallowed schools from using race for school assignment that the decision should have gone even further and clarified that school assignments and boundaries should be color blind. If the court gets a case, its likely this will be the outcome and it will knock everything out-including choosing magnet locations to attract wealthy whites into low income areas, the ability for school systems to give URM students extra point for overcoming adversity in test in programs (Florida does this and its very successful).

Thank goodness MCPS isn't using race for school assignments. The whole "FARMS is a proxy for race" is a very, very, very weak argument.[/quote]
