> "white is bad, black is good."
This is a strawman. Please point me to the place in this article where the superintendent states this. As far as I can tell, the officials quoted are concerned about the lack of diversity in their advanced classes, which are disproportionately white. This is not the same as "white is bad".
> I can totally see how universities will implement soon the curve fitting so popular in the corporate world: when asian students will be given a "GPA budget" that they can distribute among themselves, and that budget will be "3.0 for everyone or 4.0 for some and 2.5 for others."
This is pure fanciful speculation and has no relevance to this article. The school district has not proposed any such scheme. What evidence supports the claim that such a program will be implemented "soon"?
- frongpik 6y agoIn corporatese, "lack of diversity" means too many white and asian males, and generally if you're concerned with too much quantity of something, that's because this something is deemed bad. The relevance is very direct. The next thing those "concerned officials" will notice is that asians and whites get much higher grades on math and other stem subjects.

There is too much water flooding my house. Therefore, I hate water. This does not make sense. Wanting a different composition of something is different than hating one of the parts.
