What extensive network does NYC have?

The problem with FCPS providing support for per kids is that they are trying to achieve equal results not equal ability.  And besides, they don't really care about income, just skin color.

They could have artificially achieved income diversity by explicitly preferencing income (which they did), they didn't have to get rid of the test for that.  But they could not explicitly preference race and so they got rid of the test because objective testing is an obstacle to racial diversity.  [/quote]

They got rid of the test because wealthy people were getting an additional unfair advantage by prepping.

They had already changed the test to prevent this multiple times. But test prep companies continued to “crack” the test.

That's silly.  We were there, we saw the board taking about racial diversity throughout the entire process.  The backdrop of BLM let them push it through but it was all about race.   You know it.  I know it.  Everyone knows it.  If wealth determined how well you did on these tests why would Stuyvesant be 50% farm?  How did TJ go from majority white to majority Asian?  [/quote]

Is this a serious question? Because the answer is wealthy Indian families concentrated in Loudoun and western Fairfax. They’re by FAR the wealthiest demographic in Northern Virginia.[/quote]
