[quote=Anonymous]Your post is exactly why there’s bias in the system. That poster was only making a general case that the system isn’t completely race-neutral, which it is not, and then you just respond by an attack that has nothing to do with the actual post. Kids who live in poverty do have real barriers to academic achievement, and I think everyone recognizes that. Unfortunately the magnet reforms that are happening across the country are focused on race. In New York City, nearly all the kids getting in to magnets are FARMS. The same kids that you claim might have to use flashlights to do their homework. But they are nearly all poor Asian kids so the changes being discussed there do nothing to help kids who are FARMS or ESOL but instead look for other changes that will result in the reduction of Asian students despite so many of them being poor. I can’t believe you used the example of violin and heritage language school. Talk about bias and stereotyping. Good one.[/quote]
