About Time!!!

I can't believe it took over 30 years for this policy to change! Hooray for a parent to finally question the process and make things right...

More than the criteria of race as a basis for selection, what I found most offensive was the comment

They told me that they "Go by the mother's race b/c with minorities the father isn't generally in the home." Over here, the second the words left your mouth, you would be facing a discrimination charge so fast your head would spin!!

Interestingly enough, I do see the original reason for the white/black specifications as probably being a misguided attempt at providing a balance, and probably not plain out and out bigotry.
