[nc #566] many black kids performed poorly on the IQ test and wound up in special education classes. A lawsuit claimed the test was biased and a judge agreed -- banning public schools from giving the test to black children while allowing it for everyone else.

[nc #566] ...a district official suggested if she changed her son's paperwork to re-classify him as white, as she is, he'd be able to take the test.

If the mother classifies her child as black, he cannot be given the test.

If the mother classifies her child as white, he can take the test.

This is California law as handed down by a California court.

There is no context missing.

It is racism and discrimination. It is no less racist or discriminatory because it issued from a California court. It is rather, State-sanctioned discrimination, or State-ordered discrimination.

I think G. W. Bush would have termed it the "subtle bigotry of low expectations."

Racial discrimination is illegal in California. If an activist judge handed down a ruling, then it must not be contrary to the law! Judges never go against the law. (Where are those darned sarcasm tags?)
