[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The social-engineering is about constantly moving the goal posts to make the Spanish-dominant side of things continue to be low-income immigrant Spanish-speaking families.  The reality of Hispanic America today includes families who speak English enough to succeed in the American workplace without giving up culture and language.[/quote]

What precludes more affluent Hispanics from gaining admission to Oyster from the SD side of the lottery?  If a bilingual education is so important to these families, they can enroll their children in bilingual preschools (like everyone else), AND speak Spanish to their children at home for the extra advantage.  With that combination, I have no doubt that their children will easily score higher on the Spanish test.  However, affluent Spanish speaking families are NOT more entitled to those OOB Spanish dominant seats than a poor immigrant family that speaks Spanish...and not much else.  If those affluent Hispanics want to guarantee a spot at Oyster, they need to move IB like the rest us English Dom. Families. [/quote]
