Yep. That's exactly what is meant.

Traci Jones, a black parent of four students in Hoover schools, said all of this is not just about black students making the cheerleading squad or having access to the gifted program. It’s about students being treated fairly on a daily basis.
The racist video by Hoover and Spain Park high school students that recently gained national attention is a reflection of parents and administrators who have similar conversations regarding black and Jewish people, Jones said.
School leaders held assemblies to address the video but offered no apologies, and students recognized that, she said. Now, she has to wonder whether the people charged with educating her children are fairly grading them or treating them differently because of their race, she said. Jones said all the lip service about training teachers sounds good, but she wants to see some action.

Romel Williams, a parent of two students at Hoover High, said she was very disappointed with the lack of swift discipline for a Hoover High teacher who used a racial slur in her classroom in January 2018. The teacher initially was allowed to return to the classroom and make an apology.
Parents who thought she should have been fired complained, and the superintendent placed her on administrative leave before she resigned just five days after the initial incident.
Williams said the initial reaction by school administrators angered her and she wondered if she should take her children back to Birmingham schools instead of keeping them in Hoover where they have to deal with racial tension every day.

Wonlia Blain, a mother of three children in Hoover schools who moved to Hoover from Houston in 2013, said her children have been called the n-word every year they have been here. “It has been very traumatizing for my child,” she said.
No one believes this.

typical marxist attempt to dumb down a future electorate group....parents should rise up and oppose this....
it was different then, when our kids went to public school, but if it were now, we would send them to a private school or home school them....the modern "education" system is a f*****g joke

I am fairly certain you hit the nail on what they intend to do but if they , somehow, did what they said I don't have a problem there.

Hoover is taking cues from Huntsville on how to ruin your school system.

in my personal experience in Alabama schools and through friends that work in the school systems, teachers are working forever. Are they planning on firing white people to just hire black teachers? Not sure how you gain diversity without getting rid of people first and tenure makes that difficult.
Hoover has enough turnover every year that they could do this pretty quickly if they were dead set on it.

Quotas, minority set asides, forced diversity are all the same.
How come we don't use the "strategies" in professional sports?
In pro sports the best play. So why can't the best teach? Why can't the best get in the best classes?

They are going to change the entire Hoover school system because of a video? That should work out well for them.

This has more to do with the 1960s desegregation case and trying to get out from under it. It just has increased focus because of that stupid video that the school system literally has no control over.

You hire based up the best person for the job whether it’s a white, black, yellow, or blue human.
I had absolutely shitty white teachers as well as shitty black teachers throughout school. I also had outstanding white and black teachers. The good black teachers had NO shame in beating some asses or pulling hair if you got out of line in their classroom. They didn’t play and did t give a frick what we may have thought. We sure in the frick didn’t back talk em either. One of the black teachers I had was notorious for launching chalk board erasers across the room if you pissed her off enough. You always knew who did because you would see the print of a chalked up eraser on a few heads throughout the school day. Heck with that back talking mess because God forbid we got sent to the principals office (black gentleman). When he paddled it sounded like rifle shots, literally.
Than again this was quite a few year ago and they were the kind that actually busted their asses ETHICALLY to achieve their goals, unlike the sjw “what have you done for me and where’s my reparations” crowd of today. They didn’t want nor needed handouts.

There’s that word again. Folks it’s a subtle change but significant. They don’t want equal opportunity. They want equal results. Damn what’s deserved or called for
