It's reading things like this that reminds me how much I enjoy watching people destroy stereotypes.

It's not. It is a racist tool used by people claiming that they are against racism. I love America.

Oh, so you're flame. I get it now.

Even though you are wrong, I am just happy that you think that you understand something. This must be a big day for you.

We don't live in the 1950's anymore. What proof is there that there is racism in the educational system? Unless it can be shown that there is, then this is a weak argument.

That fact that many schools use AA shows they aren't discriminating against minorities. There can't be discrimination if minorities are being favored. If schools aren't discriminating against minorities in the admissions process, then we don't need it anymore.

My SO just got off the phone with her mother, who is an elementary school teacher. Subject: how she hates teaching now that district lines have been redrawn and lots of minorities go to her school. If they don't transfer her to a richer (read: whiter) school, she's going to quit.

Yes. There is racism in education.

Have you ever been a teacher?

What if she was transfered to a school district full of kids living in trailors? If they behaved poorly then she wouldn't want to teach there either. Like you said she isn't really racist, she just doesn't want to teach misbehaved kids whether they are white or not.

I mentioned this on another post and should have clarified it here that I was referring to higher education.
