[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone read the NYTimes article this weekend about school zoning in Minneapolis? [/quote]

I just read it and feel bad for the kids being bussed in. The article starts off with "Parents peppered her with questions. Exactly how many A.P. courses did her school offer? Was Spanish the only language option? " They later state that Spanish is the only option and never address the AP question. Sacrifice your kid's education in the name of equity seems to be the pitch. [/quote]

I read it and appreciated the honest approach to desegregation reflected in this quote.

[quote]“Everyone wants equity as long as it doesn’t inconvenience them,” said Eric Moore, senior officer for accountability, research and equity for Minneapolis Public Schools, where about a third of students — some 10,000 children of different races — were assigned to new schools this year.

The changes included redrawing school zones, including for North. [b]“This plan is saying, everyone is going to be equally inconvenienced because we need to collectively address the underachievement of our students of color,”[/b] Mr. Moore added.[/quote]

It is refreshing to see someone speaking honestly rather than gaslighting parents about whether it will have any impact on their kids.[/quote]
