[quote=Anonymous][quote]Check out Table B4 for TPMS 
2016, 2017,2018 numbers of invited students

White/37/48/53 
Asian/67/53/43 
Hispanic/&lt;10/15/12

You decide whether &quot;MCPS needs to explain to the AA and Hispanic communities why white students benefited the most from the reform.&quot; [/quote]

Wow this is awful. It certainly looks like MCPS staff actually didn't like that the magnet wasn't majority white so they shifted the criteria to put white students back on top. This is a textbook example of institutional racism favoring white students. They just disguised it in their rhetoric and by admitting 2 more hispanic students.

In order to achieve this &quot;desired&quot; balance of more white students than asian students and very few additional hispanic/AA students MCPS had to lower the standards and pull in the cohort geographic proxy so the magnets no longer have the strongest students. This also feeds into white privilege by making it easier for the lower scoring white kids to succeed in the program and be on top. Very shameful![/quote]
