I agree with the NAACP. If they want to have student enrollment in proportion to the racial makeup of the city it is not fair to expect black kids to pass a test.
The answer is quite simple, They cannot pass those tests in the proportions desired.
They cannot pass the Fire department tests, they cannot pass the police Departments tests. The Government has forced these agencies to hire under a quota system and it is only right to establish a quota system for blacks going to high School.’
It is a good thing that tests are not required for teachers or there would be few black teachers.They simply show their sheepskin and they are hired. Once in they are in for good.
The only answer to the problem of getting more black kids into this elite High School is to establish a quota system and allow those black students who could not pass the test to slow down the others. That’s the only fair way, it works for affirmative action jobs and it should work for affirmative action education.
