[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course they weren't for sale but if you repeat the lie often enough, some portion of the population that are looking for a reason to believe the low will believe that lie.  It's how MAGA and Trump operate and the anti merit racists are really no different.  [/quote]

The two sides are not equally bad but they both use the same tactics and are equally dishonest.  The consequences are different.

The left wants to ignore the parts of the constitution that prevents them from enforcing equal results and the right wants to ignore all the other parts.

“Equal results”. GMAFB.

The community thought that having TJ only be accessible to wealthy kids from handful of feeders was unacceptable.

Less than 1% of the class of 2024 came from economically disadvantaged families. In a community with 1/3rd ED families.

The process had to change. [/quote]

You can have explicit preferences for poverty, you cannot have explicit preferences for race.  That is why they got rid of the merit filter, to achieve racial diversity not to achieve economic diversity.

The school board thought that there was a problem because TJ didn't racially reflect the community, not because it didn't economically reflect the community.  They could have selected students based on income, but they couldn't select students based on race so they tried to change it to a lottery but that was illegal so they went with eliminating objective measures of merit.  During the hearings, the board members focused almost exclusively on race and diversity.  The testimony was focused almost exclusively on race and diversity.

Liberals used to strive for equality of opportunity with the notion that this would lead to equality of results.  But, when the increasing equality of opportunity didn't lead to a corresponding equality of results for some groups, they kept blaming racism anyway and concluded that any disparity in results was proof of racism.  The goal shifted from equality of opportunity to equality of results.  I'm not saying we have achieved equality of opportunity but when you see immigrants (mostly but not only asians) from a bunch of different countries can now outperform whites as a group, then the argument that white supremacy is an impenetrable barrier to success by any non-white racial group looks pretty stupid.[/quote]

False, the school board thought too many kids got in because of rampant test buying and needed to level the playing field.[/quote]

No, you are lying... with full, knowledge and intent, you are lying.  Anyone that was around in 2020 when they pushed through the new admissions process on the heels of the BLM protests knows this was about race and you are a scumbag for pretending otherwise.  You and people like you are the reason why so many minorities, black, white and asians shifted right this last election.[/quote]
