re: AP & Honors classes to be partly decided by skin color, not intelligence?

Right and their vision is to institute a quota.

No there vision is to have their advanced classes represent their student population.

But in that case, then it sounds like someone is supporting a similar cause:

quote:

---

While 48% of today's workforce are women, only 24%
of people in STEM fields are female. And when you think about where the jobs of the future are coming from, that's a very frightening statistic. And we're actually moving in the wrong direction. Over the course of a little over a decade, women's participation in science,
engineering, math, and technology has actually slid from just around 30 to now in the low 20s depending on which of those disciplines.

So it's really important that we think about the introduction of girls in STEM fields in the school system, making sure that they are really participating in these fields because when we think about equal pay and the challenge we have to FINALLY LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD, I think this will be a very important component when we think about the future in doing just that.

Ivanka Trump: STEM fields need more educated women

Of course she's not arguing for a quota, she's arguing for the goal of improving women's participation in STEM to decrease the disparity.

quote:

---

Representing a populations demographics is the goal of most quotas, I don't know what point you think this is making.

But there is nothing wrong with setting a goal to improve the outcomes and participation of demographics. Who would have a problem with those groups improving and being able to meet the requirements of those advanced classes?

Just like it's a goal to bring people out of poverty, and I think that's pretty universal. But redistribution of wealth via governmental policy to do it, is a policy that is definitely not universal.

OR just like it's pretty universal to want everybody to have access to necessary healthcare. But supporting that goal, is not the same as Socialized Medicine.
