Why do you say that? What do you take issue with here:

quote:

---

Vision: Through our collective work, advanced classes such as AP and Honors will have proportional representation,” read the letter. “Proportional representation is 40% White, 35% Hispanic, 12% African American, 10% mixed race.

That's consistent with the purpose of a VISION statement.

Vision Statement Definition

quote:

---

An aspirational description of what an organization would like to achieve or accomplish in the mid-term or long-term future. It is intended to serves as a clear guide for choosing current and future courses of action.

And here are some of vision statements from major companies that use similar language:

Sample Vision Statements

Pfizer

quote:

---

We will become the world's most valued company to patients, customers, colleagues, investors, business partners, and the communities where we work and live.

Honda (1970)

quote:

---

We will destroy Yamaha

Clearly "destroying" Yamaha could not have been a rule or regulation, since it's an independent company. But if you interpreted that statement like the one in the OP's article, then it must be a specific policy.
