[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Except that if the student body becomes significantly whiter as a result, then you will have a Civil Rights lawsuit over disparate impact. And DCPS will lose. Again. (For those not in the know, that's EXACTLY what happened the last time DCPS lost a lawsuit because Wilson and Deal were too white.)

Let me make sure I understand you.  You first argue that if any change increases the percentage of white students at Deal/Wilson, then DCPS will lose a civil rights action.  Then you argue that if any change increases the percentage of white students at an EotP school, that too will result in a civil rights lawsuit.  So in essence, you think no change can occur which will alter the current racial balance at any school???[/quote]

Not to mention the case in the 1960's had very little to do with Wilson and Deal being "too white". It was mainly about tracking and the predominantly black schools being in overcrowded, substandard facilities.[/quote]
