This kind of stuff is all the more reason why public schools should be replaced by competing private schools. The real problem is government interference and it won't be solved by adding additional regulations to the mix.
But they will try, as pointed out in the article about the options they are considering. Almost all liberal programs eventually have to eliminate choice and impose force to put them into effect. That seems to always include increased costs for transportation, security, etc., but the programs still go down hill. Their solution - more money.
They use the enrollment in the school lunch program as a bench mark but they try to get all students to enroll, even the wealthy ones, because so many other government programs are pegged to it. The more people on the lunch program the more money they get for everything else. I rmember my kids having to bring home a form requesting it and begging me not to sign it. I didn't.
The students eventually become just a burden and a bother to the bureaucracy. To them the process is what counts.
I seriously doubt if any of the parents care about skin color other than as an indicator of the probable cultural aspects that are identified with certain groups. The bilingual thing by itself slows down the process for everyone. Remember the educator, or administrator, in California who wanted to make Ebonics a second language? That would have been a hoot and it would have established bad English as a language and an acceptable style. They had to wait for rap music to get that done. :-)
No wonder the libs are constantly having to tweak their loony ideas.
