[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have board members demeaning students’ hard work and families’ sacrifices as “pay to play.”

You have another board member stereotyping the majority Asian-American TJ’s culture as “toxic” for Black students.

You have Atif Qarni comparing test prep to “performance enhancement drugs.”

Then you have State Delegate Mark Keam accusing Asian-American parents of the “unethical ways” Asian Americans  “push their kids into [TJ],” when those parents are “not even going to stay in America.”

This kind of language is expected on twitter and dcum.

You cannot say these kind of things and promote stereotypes about citizens you are expected to serve and represent.

Imagine if the targeted racial demographic was black, and the board members was spouting language stereotyping black people.  Somehow it's ok to stereotype Asians?[/quote]
Interesting.  Mark Keam is a Korean-American.  Born in South Korea, lived in Viet Nam and Australia.  I think he knows a bit about Asian Americans.[/quote]

Doesn’t matter where he’s from. What Mark said is clearly racist.

Some of these people sound like they have an axe to grind. They’re crafting processes designed to handicap a group they’re making demeaning comments about. They haven’t tried to appear neutral and did their best to shut out community input.

Regardless of the benefits, this is not how you craft policy, and it deserves to be challenged.[/quote]
