Because attorneys routinely ignore stuff that can prove their case?

No it was laughed out of court as everyone expected since admissions are race-blind and the group claiming discrimination is the most well represented.

This decision was kind of inevitable since the claim had no merit. The group in question continues to have the greatest representation, which makes it hard to claim discrimination.

Obviously you have no clue what you are talking about. Denying opportunities to high performing kids are ok with you?

The claim wasn't that high-performing kids were being denied anything. It was that a group felt they were being discriminated against even though they are better represented than any other group. Go figure...

I think the bigger issue, in terms of strategy, was that the Asian American group refused to make common cause with any other group. They wanted this to be about discrimination against them in particular, but the fact pattern just didn't hold up. There are more Asian American kids outside the "low FARMS" schools than there are inside them. But by creating a case that focused on MC/UMC families in one specific part of the county, they drew attention to the fact that this new system primarily impacts families living in wealthy areas, whereas Asian Americans actually live all over the county.

Because targeting something like magnet admissions based on home school income brackets is actually legal, they shot themselves in the foot. A better approach would have been to assemble a group of "harmed parties" that included poor/working class families in high income areas. But this insistence on making a race-based claim doomed the case from the start.

No, that wasn't it at all. There was evidence of racism against Asians, but the attorney's were selective as to which families and evidence was included.

Check your grammar. You'll be more credible.

Grammar Nazis do such a wonderful job of furthering discussions! [/sarcasm, just in case...]

That's the primary tactic of MCPS; to distract from the main point and ensure responses all go off on a tangent.
