"Over-Identification".

In reading the article you se this is a bad thing. Bad.

School officials want to reduce the over-identification of black students. But why?

The article doesn't say. Perhaps HISD officials are racist and don't want to put black kids who need Special Ed in those classes?

Nahh.

So, liberals believe that special education is a good thing; that students in such programs are getting the help they need.

But, it’s racist if too many students of a certain group are in special ed.

But if we restrict the numbers of students in special ed based on race, then some students of a particular race or ethnicity will not get the benefit of such programs.

I’m sure liberals have some explanation for how to proceed. It sounds like they want to evict numbers of black students from programs they could benefit from, because it’s racist to have them there. What the heck????

[Verginius Rufus]

It’s like affirmative action for college students. What is important is not what is in the best interests of the students but what makes the administrators look good. Virtue signaling.

Amazing how many people, especially in the government, are utterly incapable of considering the possible real-world consequences of their actions.

Judging by pre 2016 election history, the percentage of Negro geniuses in America's Black population is upwards of 90%.

Putting them in the retard's classes would be rasis.

Bell Curve. Unavoidable.

"School officials want to reduce the over-identification of black students. But why? "

They can't say that 'Black Culture' is bad. That's one of the answers t they'd get if they admitted that Blacks need more help than others.

Yeah, it's fetal alcohol syndrome and lead exposure.

It couldn't possibly be a ghetto culture that is completely hostile to anything academic.

[MoochPooch]

Sounds like they’re embarrassed.

[Chode]

special education rate of 7.26 percent is virtually last among the nation's 50 largest cities and less than half those in Boston or New York.

no way in hell should there be almost 15% of students riding the short bus...

“I’m sorry Lakeisha, but we already have too many Blacks in remedial classes - you’ll just have to graduate unprepared for life so we can make it look like Blacks are over achievers and not disadvantaged by their prevailing culture.”
