I’ve written before about how Montgomery County, Maryland, where I live, discriminates against Asian-Americans in education. The discrimination consists of limiting the number of Asian-Americans admitted to the County’s “magnet†programs for gifted students.The County wants more Black and Latino students in these programs. To achieve this, it admits these students based on lower standards than are required for other applicants. The result is the exclusion of some Asian-Americans due to their race.In response to this blatant discrimination, and having failed to persuade the powers that be to end it, a group of parents has filed a lawsuit against the County school system. The group, organized as the Association for Education Fairness, is asking a federal court in Maryland to find that changes to the admissions process that have limited the number of Asian-American students violate the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause.
