Americas 10th best high school...may adopt "lottery" for applicants to ensure diversity

Charleston County School District weighs diversity issues as Academic Magnet s black enrollment plunges - Post and Courier

Well...Charlestons elite Academic Magnet HS...ranked as the 10 best public high school in America. Every kid in Charleston County who attends public school can apply for a spot there. Its public...so income doesnt matter. You just have to be, well, really smart.

But...black enrollment has plummeted since 2002.

One reason is fewer blacks have applied. Its a mostly white school for smart kids. Bad street cred I guess. And...fewer qualify.

See...Academic Magnet HS uses a raw number system of 15 points. Every applicant gets points for things like SAT and GPA.

Race...isnt one of the points.

Now...the minority community wants a lottery. Some black kids were scoring a 13. Very smart kids. But...far more had 14-15 scores. So...the best got accepted.

So they want a lottery. So if 500 apply for 50 spots...its not the top 50 who get in. They want something like the top 200 to get put into a pot...and a lottery picks who gets in.

So your kid could land a perfect 15. Be the #1 ranked applicant. And not pop up in the lottery...and have his/her spot taken by the 200th ranked candidate.

For fairness. Ya know?

hard work and dedication is for chumps and white people



that lottery is just flat out racist and is put forth by the same people that want minorities to get hired, for jobs they are not qualified for.

No one wants team minority coming to save them from a burning building when they know many of them are not the best out there

Its the sign of a society gone mentally insane.

"Everyone can apply; Race and wealth are NOT a factor; We only take the top scorers".

^^^How can anyone have a problem with that?

Well inner city kids can and have made it. They just have to work hard and be smart and stay out of trouble.

This is actually a slap in the face to the inner city kids. Like saying they just arent capable of scoring best...so we have to rig it for them.

Fuck that. They have just as much potential and abilit...IF THEY WORK FOR IT...as anyone. Treat them equal.

If minorities learn they don't need help from the government, leftist ideals rot on the vine

Yep. Many of them have learned that. They're the successful black business owners and family men who have created wonderful lives in America.

When my parents wanted me in a top school, they had to buy a house in the area.

Lotteries pretty much just pick the kids that are top performers already, are cultural minorities they want to add to the school, or have no disabilities* - but schools (whatever the country or county) will never admit that publicly of course.

It isn't a nice, but then most schools are out to get funding and top grades are what get them funding; and grade slumps don't.

*Unless they want a token disabled child.

If only they could get some black gay disabled illegal immigrant students. For now...they should be ASHAMED of accepting students based only on their scores and content of character.

Nah, just for being a snobbish school that didn't let in the 'wrong sort'.

Whenever a young black makes his way out of the ghetto by hard work and a belief that capitalism can work for them, the progressive Liberal Democrats do their best to hobble them.

For liberals to succeed, they need dependent voters. Successful blacks aren't dependent.
