Proponents of the new system argue that the merit-based system was racist as it resulted in an underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic students, while opponents say it would harm Asian students – who make up the majority of Lowell’s population – and undermine the benefits of a competitive academic environment.

They never worry about white people though

They hate white people. I just have a limited amount of sympathy for those white people in the SF public schools system.

And like all school administrators, they will fail to see any connection between race and scholastic achievement.

Of course, in their jewed minds, it's all whitey's fault for some reason.

"It is important not to insinuate a cause on such a sensitive topic at the risk of shaming our students".

What cause could be insinuated that would shame students?

Didn't they achieve equity???


Didn't this fix all the problems like they said it would?

Said principal "Dominguez" these thing are a different species. Every time you give a woman a vote you get this. Don't let women vote.

The obvious solution - lower the passing standard. Diversity!

And for their next trick… letter grades will be abolished as being racist.

So many variables!

Shit Forgrades, SF has been achieved. Race for the bottom proceeds as planned. Can't blame the Amish for this one. Administrators on the payroll in situations like this are usually making the big bucks.

Drop merit based grading and the problem will be solved.
