Black and Hispanic Students in Fairfax County School

Back in the 1990s, as the demographics of the county were changing and blacks and hispanics began to move en masse away from the Route 1 corridor, Fairfax County Public Schools issued a brochure that stated that "black and hispanic children were less likely to have the requisite skills to be ready for kindergarten." This brochure did not highlight language or cultural differences at all. This carte blanc pronouncement was not only irresponsible, but it signaled to me that there was trouble ahead. So the current attitude towards "morality" is not knew. Remember this is the same school district that shut down the schools during desegregation rather than allow black children to go to school with white children.

Well it's true, so when your property values go down because you're schools aren't ranked as high because not as many students graduate or score well on tests you'll know why. Don't worry, affirmative action and increasing drives to diversify colleges will make up for "language or cultural differences".
