That is minority achievement. Of course, when these minorities start failing the course, then there will be a quota for grades. That is minority achievement.

Saying there are not proportionately enough folks of color is the same as arguing disparate impact in business. The lack of color is prima facie evidence of discrimanation in the minds of the race crowd. Never mind that there is no proof of actual discrimination. This discussion doesn't mention title IX, but it's simmering under the surface. We all want minorities and girls to have all the access that's needed, but alas, we've gone past that to discrimination in the reverse.... Holy Crap this a good article!

My son had mono and missed about 10 days of his math AP class. The teacher stated unless he was a very driven student, he would not be able to catch up to the class. He was not driven. Also the counselor related a story to us concerning a minority student in this AP class. She was shunned by her friends, ignored at lunch, and never included in any social activities because of her AP class. She was labeled a "coconut" at school. She ended up dropping out of the advanced class. My younger son was supposed to get an award (along with others) for getting all "A"s for the year.(7th grade, 2008) He told us it meant nothing. Many of the kids had gotten a B, some multiple times. The school was using the year's average to determine qualification. If they didn't they would not have very many getting the award. Lastly, why put a child in a class that he or she cannot handle. Why set a child up for failure? What can that do for their self esteem? Stop a lawsuit, sacrifice the children. I guess the class could be made easier...... I live and grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast, south down the coast from Galveston about 50 miles.Country town.

Politians hood wink us at every turn and we're too damned dumb to do anything about it. wonder why there are so few posts here? maybe people just aren’t interested in education..maybe that’s the reason we are in such sad shape in America.

Discrimination does not discriminate. Meaning that regardless of how pretty things are said, the basis and basic fatal flaw is in the very thing that is getting praise. Impeach obama for being a traitor. The NAACP is racist in it’s very being. Discrimination does not discriminate.

The uninformed, uneducated, uncaring, apologist in our country set him up to "right the wrongs" of more than a century ago..you know..today doesn't count. Why work for what you get, why have equal rules for enrollment, admission, promotion. Hell, gotta sit home and make up for what happened to somebody born somwhere before they were ever a twinkle in someone's eye.. Gotta give 'em more free stuff. Let the devils that work everyday pay for it. It's just so much bull. I believe that if people think things are so unfair here and they should be "given" everything, perhaps they should try a few years in the "mother land" that they so equate themselves with. Obama is here to dismantle America. He needs to be stopped. There is a vote in 2010, voting out his party would be a start. come on guys, Obama is just doing what he was sent to do..
