[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure about the legal merits of this case. But I’m starting to feel like this “equity” business is going to be the school busing of our generation. I’m all in favor of expanding access to gifted programs to underrepresented groups. But doing that through destroying existing programs is just really nihilistic. EXPAND the accelerated options; don’t water them down or exclude qualified students.

Instead of expanding the opportunities to all students, I wonder why they deny opportunities to highly abled to promote some groups. Is this their politics?[/quote]

They don't. In fact, admissions to these programs are race-blind, and it's why some demographic groups which currently take up over half the seats in these programs while others that are even larger are closer to 5%...[/quote]

So why are they not providing magnet opportunities for highly abled and only focus on certain groups? Aren't they suppose to provide opportunities for all children? [/quote]
There are opportunities for all kids. But perhaps not the opportunity you think Larla so obviously deserves.[/quote]
