MCPS should get rid of its DEI programs.  Removing the lottery for magnet programs would be a wonderful start.   [/quote]

The lottery is exactly what protects them drom accusations of DEI. It is random. They will double down on it now.[/quote]

The randomness was removed by the lottery AFTER MCPS expanded the [b]inclusion[/b] of students who would not have made it to the Magnet programs if only academic or standardized tests were the criteria.  And they did this only to increase [b]Diversity[/b] in the magnet class.  If this is not DEI, then what is it?[/quote]

The randomness of the lottery is what protects them. Whatever the reasons for moving to it. They absolutely will not get rid of it now because it gets them as close to the outcomes they want in a manner they can defend. They are not hand selecting students.

You would do better to advocate to change the criteria for who will be entered into the lottery than to advocate for an end of the lottery. [/quote]
So you’re good with a racist lottery? [/quote]

DP. The lottery is race-blind.[/quote]

+1

It might be race blind, but locally norm, putting kids who scored 85 percentile in the pool with kids scored 99 percentile did open the pool to more race. And 85 percentile is picked over 99 percentile through lottery.. such a joke![/quote]

Exactly, the lottery, if held, should only be between all the 99 percenters.

[/quote]

Why?[/quote]
Why? For example, you and a bunch of coworkers are competing for a promotion. You scored 99 points on all the interview questions, they scored 85 points. And you were told you all make it to the final list, and they picked 85 because it’s random lottery. That happens in MCPS at elementary level. [/quote]

I don't think it’s a true lottery and they just say that.[/quote]
That might be true as well. Lottery is not transparent. But kids score 99 percentile didn't make it to the “GT” program is definitely DEI and affirmative action. [/quote]

Or not enough seats in this large county.[/quote]
