Somebody tell me why this isn’t institutional racism.
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.
