In response to Magnet Schools

Arlene Ackerman... what a mess. I haven't been too fond of her since the first day she started to be honest. Ackerman says that there is not enough diversity in schools... obviously she is completely oblivious - either that or she's just that damn dumb. Has Ackerman been in our schools? Every school I have seen so far has been completely diverse. I don't believe in race anyway! 

A draft? So we're going to draft people into schools now? That is going to threaten the academic balance of magnet schools in many ways. A minimum point system of 1000 - 600 for grades, 200 for behavior. This is just like affirmative action... suppose a student is passionate  about being accepted to Central but is Hispanic (suppose Hispanics make up 60% of Central), and has the grades. However, a Caucasian person (suppose Caucasians make up 10% of Central), who does not have the grades, applies to Central. The white person gets accepted because of a lack of diversity, and the smart Hispanic who cares about school gets stuck in a horrible neighborhood school. That's not fair.

I fear for the future of this generation... I really do.
