[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had separate but equal education in the US under segragation.

[b]I don't understand why there is not more of an emphasis 
on getting local African American children who qualify for enrollment to get them enrolled [/b]rather than operating an elite high school on taxpayer dime that educates Spaniards from Spain and dark skinned  students from Africa who come from elite families in their native lands.[/quote]

That, my friend, is a valid question.  That is what you need.  From pre-K.  It's not hard to find smart kids of any race.  African American kids especially deserve this given the generations of abuse.  Has to be kids both of whose grand-parents are directly descended from slavery though..  If not, that system will be abused by first-gen Africans, much like what's going on with college admissions.. Harvard counts Nigerians as "African American" to fill up their quota and calls itself woke!  Double the property taxes if that's what it takes..

A public school system should not be tracking race at all. [/quote]

Except in the case of African Americans and Native Americans (one group was stolen from and the other was stolen and forced to work for centuries without pay).  I also think that this should be limited to kids where they can trace their roots on both parents' side at least 2 generations.  That will rule out recent immigrants from Africa or natives from other countries.   The next tier of preferential treatment should be based on income and assets regardless of race. Identify the smart kids and nurture them so they are able to compete on an equal footing when competition begins. e.g. TJ entrance test; SAT, etc.

Everything else should be open to everyone based on merit.

My humble opinion, of course..
