I assume that 95% across the board would somehow be racist.

This is just wrong at too many levels
Unless, one predicates that genetic predilection for
superior or inferior cognitive skills are a rational concept,
but I thought that one was buried long ago
Imagine the uproar that would occur if
gender disparities were institutionalized
To: Mrs. Don-o
If there were no baseline of unequal achievement among groups, then different goals would be stupid. On the other hand if one group is performing poorly at say 50 percent and another group is performing very well at perhaps 90 percent, you tell me how they are going to be performing at the same level next year.
If the board wants to set standards permanently low for a group, that is a travesty. If the board wants to grant special privileges to an underperforming group, that is unequal treatment.

WOW! Unbelievable. I know the USF can't cover the cost of all the phones being given away so I'm also sure ALL taxpayers are paying for it.

This is so outrageous as to be almost unbelievable. All, and I mean all, goals should be based on potential not race. If nothing else, this is telling some groups that they are so stupid that they need help making the grade.
I equate this to signs that are in English and Spanish ... tells those of Hispanic origin that they are to stupid to understand English. Why not signs with every language on earth?

Democrats should just go ahead and give blacks 20 acres and a mule.

I can't find the metrics on this.
Different passing grades for whites vs. blacks vs. Hispanics ?

(You didn't build that. The private sector is doing fine. We tried our plan and it worked.)
To: jimfree
Your point is well-made. We have to try for some improvement in every group, no matter where their starting point.
I wonder how it would look if they divided students' scores by sex rather than by race?
Or by nationality? (Polish, Irish, German, Lithuanian ancestry) Or by religion? (Cathoic, Baptist, MOrmon, Jewish...)
Or --- HEY! this would get people's attention--- by zip code:
33820
33822
33901
33930... and so forth
With all the different target scores for different geographic neighborhoods. Wouldn't that shake people up?
Why is it always race?
