I'm not familiar with this group. Are they known to be Central Office-aligned, or have they historically been willing to criticize them and hence this is likely a genuine expression of their community's perspectives?[/quote]

Byron Johns is heavily involved in the NAACP.  I’m surprised they’d support it given it’s going to hurt the kids they are advocating for the most.  [/quote]

Yeah, I'm trying to follow the reasoning. I guess they see the status as a few elite programs where White and Asian students are more likely to be admitted and able to attend? So, in theory, more programs could mean more access for a larger and more diverse set of students.

However, I don't how e.g. Humanities magnets at Whitman and Churchill with no transportation for out-of-boundary students get you to that goal.[/quote]
