School budget cuts due to high white student percentage

Via Drudge: The Los Angeles Unified School District provides more funding for schools where the white population is below 30 percent.

In a letter to parents, the district noted the highly regarded middle school had been above the percentage for the past couple years.

The racial formula was a condition imposed by court decisions dealing with desegregation in the 1970s.

Parents, however, remain frustrated with what the cuts might mean for their children.

"When your class sizes are getting larger and you're taking resources away from students, I mean ss parents, you do want your kid to go out to college," one parent, Rosemary Estrada, said.

Whatever happened to that quaint equal protection of the laws clause?

That only applies when the Lefties want to use it as an excuse to distort the intent of the Constitution.

PS White is the new Negro.

Well to be fair, the whiter the school the lesser the need for all the diversity officer hiring. Also no need for cops, metal detectors and remedial courses.
