[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone knows FCPS response to Roberts' request that was due on Wednesday?[/quote]

Link shared on page 34. As expected, the argument runs along the line of showing the applicant-vs-offered ratio, completely ignoring the fact that the new policy disqualifies previously eligible Asians from applying in the first place. [/quote]

Who precisely is disqualified from even applying as a result of the new admissions process? That's a new take.[/quote]

The previously qualified Asians are not eligible to apply for one of the allocated seats because the allocation rule blocks them from applying. [/quote]

If you're complaint is geographical allocation, that's legal [/quote]

Sigh, here we go again. A facially neutral policy is illegal if it has a disparate impact and is motivated by racist intent. [/quote]

Even if what you're saying were true (it isn't), the Coalition simply has not proven racist intent on the part of the School Board. [b]They have highlighted a couple of sloppy communications and taken them out of context to try to weave a narrative that Judge Hilton bought into because of his need to justify a decision that had no basis in the Constitution or controlling precedent. [/b]

At best, you can say that the Coalition has proven disparate impact on a very small group of individuals that are characterized more by geography, income, and approach to education than race. And at best, you can say that the Coalition has shown that there were individuals within the School Board who were concerned about the perception of the new policy in private communications.

It is an enormous logical leap to jump from those two items to "disparate impact motivated by racist intent".[/quote]

LOL, then you did not read Hilton's opinion. There's a lot more to it than that. I'm not going to spoon feed you the information, you can go read the decision yourself. [/quote]
