A Virginia high sent a disturbing letter to parents and students announcing they would be selecting students for Advanced Placement and honors classes at least partly based on skin color, a concerned parent told Fox News.

“Through our collective work, advanced classes such as AP and Honors will have proportional representation,” read the letter. “Proportional representation is 40% White, 35% Hispanic, 12% African American, 10% mixed race.”

Sounds racist.

What does AP and Honors mean? This sounds more like a diversity team for the smartest kids from each race. Not sure that would qualify as AP/Honors though.

With the smartest kids from each race, each diversity team could then compete against each other, to determine the Master Race. Fun!

May the best race win!

They would have to change the percentages, since YT has a numbers advantage out of the gate.

This part wasn't a surprise though...

Through our collective work

Also, they are discriminating against the "mixed-race", not to mention not asking them what they identify as. :eek:

Honors meant several hours of extra homework each week and more difficult tests. AP meant taking college classes that only students that did extremely well in (the tests) got credit for taking. If a large percentage of the student body is interested in these classes, that is a good thing. The lottery to take them should be blind though, like in charter schools with incoming students.

YT ?

Sound it out... it mocks the racial epithet used against white folk... :D

FWIW: the update to the story has the school denying the claims in the title/article.

With that said, I'll be telling my kid to always mark down that he is native American, black or whatever he wants on any such documents.

Put down Ron Paul American.

Well maybe if that was an option. But my dna test showed that I had exactly 1 west African gene and DW's test showed a small percentage of injun dna. So come at us race baiters, our kid is mixed race too! His future scholarship opportunities are bright indeed.

As I was growing up, I was told, we were working toward the day when people would be judged not by their race, but by the content of their character.

What happened to change what we were working toward?

Ever since Obama was president, it seems all that has been abandoned.

It appears I have some Asian blood in me, no idea where itt came from. No affirmative action for me.

[asurfaholic]

Lol thanks tod. I would have never figured that out

Certain people fail in the character department so they resort to what they know best- tantrums and taking what doesn't belong to them.

actually it sounds like you are "mixed race" then, congratulations!
