[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dismissing the case for insufficient "discriminatory intent" doesn't necessarily mean that discrimination did not occur - it just means the legal threshold wasn't met.

Didn't prove MCPS guilty, but it doesn't mean they didn't do it.[/quote]

Since the case was dismissed, I'd say they were cleared of any wrongdoing.[/quote]

+1. Especially in a civil case on a motion to dismiss where inferences are drawn in favor of the plaintiffs, rather than the criminal trial from which PP is importing language of guilt. There just wasn't a plausible case that the protected rights of Asian students were violated here. If anyone here has well articulated reason they think the judge got it wrong, I haven't seen it.[/quote]

There was that complaint that MCPS was caught grade tampering an asian kid's assignment grades (A's to D's), not grading assignments, not recording graded assignments, etc..  There was a stack of documentation and the P even admitted it happened, but claimed that changing the grades back wouldn't matter.  Honestly, I thought she and the one teacher involved should have been removed for that, but apparently someone gave her top-cover?[/quote]
