Los Angeles parents are outraged after their middle school announced budget cuts because there are too many white students, according to Sunday reports.
Walter Reed Middle School announced there would be layoffs and larger classes because the schools white student body is too big, reports ABC 7.
The Los Angeles Unified School District gives schools money only if white students make up no more than thirty percent of the student population. Walter Reed Middle Schools white population increased heavily over the past few years, leading to the budget cut announcement.
Parents remained unhappy with the announcement, citing concerns for their childrens future education.
When your class sizes are getting larger and youre taking resources away from students, I mean as parents, you do want your kid to go out to college, parent Rosemary Estrada told ABC 7.
The policy stems from a 1970s court decision aimed at fighting segregation in schools.
Under a court-ordered integration program that has been in place since 1978, PHBAO schools qualify for smaller class sizes and additional positions. When a school no longer qualifies for PHBAO status, fewer positions are funded, Local District Northeast superintendent Linda Del Cueto explained in a letter sent home to parents about the decision.
District officials are trying to lessen the effect on students by spending based on the size of the student body. The school was able to keep their librarian, nurse and counselor for the 2017-2018 year, Del Cueto said in the letter.
Thankfully were going to keep our librarian, Sheila Edmiston, a parent, said. Were going to keep our nurse, but we may lose a few teachers, but not as many as we once thought.
Amen!
Succeeding in spite of the discrimination is the satisfying revenge that comes from paying attention in class, doing your homework and succeeding in spite of attempts to hurt you economically. That is no amount of money that will even "fix" the disparity between the black and white achievement scores. My kids came home from their substandard public schooling with pporly "corrected" homework and tests. I corrected the English papers and tutored them through the math and science that was beyond the ability of the "teacher" to teach. Skewing the curve with perfect scores on exams is a wonderful way to give the "school system" the middle finger.
And who is the mayor of LA?
I know their city council is full of commies, crazies, racists, and irredentists but the School District? Oh the horrors of it all.
Next thing you know they will have water-fountains and bathrooms for “Whites Only”.
...”There is a war against whites, but the whites dont seem to notice”....
Well it’s actually a war for the far left to regain and sustain their own white power....since they can’t get sufficient white people to vote for them ....they simply bring in the Mexicans and Muslims and excite the black communities and any non-whites to ‘believe’ there’s a war against them ...thus they’ve achieved their voting block by creating an atmosphere of conflict between the races...which the darker races, and foreigners here will keep them in office...forever.
Just as Idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a documentary.
I would be curious to know what groups are moving into this neighborhood. This story doesn’t explain this detail. Or are we referring to Latinos now as ‘white’?
The girls could wear tuxedos but the boys would have to wear ballgowns.
