This along with accusing Lowell (86% nonwhite) of using. “White supremacist” merit based admissions is the kind of stuff that drives people into the arms of politicians like Trump. Converting Lowell to open lottery for example will ironically increase the white student population at the expense of Asians. Does this make Asian voters more or less likely to vote for Republicans next time around when they demagogue this? Even if a lottery system is the right move, the way school board members communicate is toxic. Do school boards even do anything useful? They seem primarily to be a vehicle for people who want a future in politics, and often involve politics manipulation of schools that don’t necessary benefit students like injecting creationism into textbooks. Maybe the state legislature should be left to manage school districts state wide instead of allowing these local fiefdoms of tribal warlords.
