Then you would be wrong. No parent I know whose kids go to magnet (including me) care about the color of the skin of the kids in the program.  You are confusing the desire to keep the entrance criteria fair for *everyone* and the program challenging with "we don't like Blacks/Hispanics".  That's quite a far leap.  Stop playing the race card.   [/quote]

Lots and lots and lots of PPs: MCPS is planning to admit unqualified kids based on their belonging to certain races/ethnicities!
The PP you're responding to: DCUM is defining people as "us" or "them" based on their belonging to certain races/ethnicities.
You: Stop playing the race card![/quote]

You have no idea what color people's skin are who are posting that they shouldn't have separate criterias.  *You* are making that assumption.  Like I stated, there are Blacks/Hispanics in HGC; there are Black/Hispanic families that are well to do; there Asian/White families that are low income; there are even Asian/white families where the parents don't speak English, and kid is in ESOL.   *You* are the one stating that people are making it about "us" and "them", assuming it's about race.

Us = "people who want to keep magnets challenging and entrance criteria the same for everyone"
Them  = "people who want to make the entrance criteria different for different groups of people"[/quote]
