That doesn't even make sense. If you are trying to have an "Afro-centric" view you would go to Africa. Then you can be in a place where you never even see a White person.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 65061276

Half of South Africa is White, and North Africa is Caucasian. Blacks are a minority even in Africa ironically. Well not anymore, now that we bred them for reasons unknown.
 Quoting: rekinom8


African is a huge continent- I'm sure there are many nations/areas where no Europeans are seen.

Re: School: Honors Classes Will be Decided by Skin Color
That means they will have to lower the standards yet again because there will be those that can't get in except by skin color. This is quite racist. Trump was right to nominate Betsy Devos and she is right to put public schools in their place. What will they do with the really smart kids of the wrong color? Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72556752


Agreed.

When the school board released this statement in response, "All students, regardless of race, must meet academic criteria to enroll in advanced level coursework," I knew that it meant they would be lowering their academic criteria requirements, just like the military did to advance more women who did not meet the physical requirements.

North Africans are kind of their own type of people- not the "Euros" this idiot poster is talking about- with out "Eurocentric" schools. Caucasian doesn't equal "Euro".

Policies such as grade requirements, teacher recommendations and entry exams have historically prevented many black and Latino students, and low-income students, from taking AP classes. Now the College Board and school districts are recognizing that, and districts around the country are flipping access so that any student can choose to take an AP class — that’s the policy in both Los Angeles and Long Beach unified school districts.

Re: School: Honors Classes Will be Decided by Skin Color
How about all of the races which weren't included? I'm speaking of Middle-Eastern, Indian, Native American, Brazillian-Portugese, etc.

You do realize there are those who thought they were one race and actually weren't due to being adopted, right? That's one of the reasons of the popularity of Ancestry.com.

Skin color is not always an accurate way to categorize people. For example I have met blond haired, blue eyed, very fair skin men and women who were actually mixed race. Yes they were at least 1/4 Native American. Sometimes their full-blooded siblings looked completely different.

Then you have situations where children actually have different parents and grandparents for various reasons than other family members. See where this gets complicated and even ridiculous? Are you going to make all students submit DNA tests to get into a mixed race category as opposed to Caucasian?

Hollywood has called such actors and actresses "exoticals." Casting is one solely on the basis of looks rather than actual reality. Therefore 100% Caucasians (for several generations) have been cast as "exoticals" if they look different than most White people.

That's how my school was. You could choose to take the classes yourself. That's a fine way to do it- but quality should not be lowered. If any student finds they can't deal with the advanced classes, they go back to regular classes.

Also, my school offered to let students take college courses for a reduced fee. If you failed the college course you couldn't take another one based on the public school program.

Institutionalized race quotas are needed in academics and civil service because some races are less intelligent than others. It's that simple.

If their teachers are stupid enough to write this sort of tripe it's small wonder they have outcome based advanced programs.

They are actively working toward that happening through massive immigration. Whites should never have let that happen to the future of young Whites. This is probably the worst thing one generation ever did to another in history.

So I'm curious, if they are so into proportions, then why aren't sports teams filled that way? Why only intelligence being discounted, let's discount physical abilities too
 Quoting: zzcat


Those destined for professional sports rise to the top anyways. When it comes to academics it gets more subjective as family background and lack of opportunity and cultural exposure play a role as well. The goal is to help those disadvantage student break through barriers while making the other races compete harder for those slots.
 Quoting: So I Am 69947748


Bullshit SJW speak.

Subjective my ass, they are all in the same class, the same school. They've taken all of the "subjective" out of the school already.
It's not about family values. Leave that social engineering shit at the door, asshole.

First of all, the link clearly shows that the ratios were a goal not a means of enrollment.
Second, as a teacher, you'd be surprised what happens when you open up advanced classes to all students rather than "ivory tower-ing" higher level learning. Students rise to the challenge.
I teach AP, and our district has shifted to open enrollment. I have more kids who are encouraged to excel in the class. It's a win-win... unless of course you hate public education, then it doesn't matter what we do, you'll always find fault.

Yes, I believe schools must give the opportunity to all students who want to procede, go to college, uni etc to achieve it, especially if they lack family support, funds etc. But they have to prove that they deserve it to be there, study hard etc.

That's a shame. I know that ESL students can be a strong drain of resources in schools. In one of our district schools we've been able to get our immigrant students into AP classes in their senior year, but we're happy to be able to get them there. Other students start as early as sophomore year and special programs in freshman year.
We also have IB which is an awesome program.
