Do white liberals game these programs? Yes.
Should they be done away with? Harder to answer.

Whoa, whoa, whoa ... "racially segregated"? Really? Do NYT reporters know what words/terms mean?

“Or Asian American,” is doing a lot of work on this sentence.

In case you’ve forgotten, NHJ has studied this stuff for nearly two decades.

What if there were people who had ‘studied this stuff’ for two decades, or three decades, or more, and held different opinions than NHJ does?
And her use of ‘studied’ is loose at best. She’s a ‘journalist.’
She wants to be believed based on credentials, even as she disagrees with people who have better credentials.

She’s not entirely wrong.
The votes to recall came overwhelmingly from Asian neighborhoods.
But, why shouldn’t they be against these changes?

That’s willfully obtuse.
No one that I have read or heard has said the recall was about building names but rather about wasting time on unimportant ‘issues’ such as building names at the expense of focus on things that actually matter to students and parents/voters.

Ah, but equity has been improved.
Step two will be to eliminate D and F grades.

The teachers/admin wouldn't know who got in who wouldn't have previously. The far more likely explanation is that more-expansive admissions led to a greater proportion of students being in circumstances they simply couldn't handle. |

I suppose it's possible, but I'm doubtful re: all those "ifs" chained together. Even if most administrators and teachers were against the lottery (?) approach, you and I know at least some would be in favor of it. So the former would have to conspire without being noticed by the latter, who you know damn well wouldn't go on Twitter silence.
