[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only schools in MCPS that are majority or close to majority Asian are schools that feed into the blocked clusters. If you wanted to reduce Asian participation in the program then blocking the schools that have close to a majority of Asian students is a good way to do it. Don't forget that MCPS has historical data on the race and geographical location of all previous applicants, admits and attendees which for the blocked schools has been overwhelming Asian as the other races don't seem to want to come east. So again- if you wanted to reduce Asian participation to racially model an incoming group more to your liking then blocking those schools would be the way to do it. And what do you know ---it did! Asian admits went down.

Its a shame and Asian American students do a lot for MCPS. I'm sure you'll regret losing them when they are gone but then it will be too late. [/quote]

Does anyone else wonder if the person claiming all of the Asian Americans are going to abandon MCPS is the same one promising a lawsuit for months. Neither of those things have happened, or are going to happen.

I live in a part of Silver Spring with plenty of Asian American families, and they don't seem to have been hurt at all by changes to the CES and magnet middle school admission process. Which is the same phenomenon that would end any lawsuit before it began - you can't claim disproportionate impact if more members of a certain group are helped rather than hurt by that policy.
