I know somebody whose daughter majored in education and made near perfect grades. She applied to a local school district that was ‘diverse’...and they wouldn’t give her the time of day. A few weeks later I saw the annual news story about there being a teacher shortage...but luckily the district was able to hire some misfits from a third world hell hole to fill the void.
This must be a deliberate strategy.
