And each of these 7 black kids deserve to be there and are not there because of any false reason like bridging the "achievement gap" through smoke and mirrors as MCPS does. Let's celebrate that.

Clap clap clap clap clap.

The NYT should have interviewed them and their families to find and share best practices and inspiration.

But racism + fake outrage sure sells more newspapers.[/quote]

This is exactly right....understand what those families did and focus on spreading that.  Celebrate their achievement instead of incessantly complaining about the lack of URMs.[/quote]

It would be interesting to see what percentage of admitted students are immigrants, born to immigrants, or second generation American. Many immigrants have strong work ethics, especially compared to second and third generation Americans. [/quote]
