What a surprise! Not

Via Joanne Jacobs:

White students are fleeing majority-Asian high schools in Cupertino, a Silicon Valley town, reports the Wall Street Journal. The competition with hard-working, high-achieving Asian students -- especially those from immigrant families -- is too tough.

Whites aren't quitting the schools because the schools are failing academically. Quite the contrary: Many white parents say they're leaving because the schools are too academically driven and too narrowly invested in subjects such as math and science at the expense of liberal arts and extracurriculars like sports and other personal interests.

The two schools, put another way that parents rarely articulate so bluntly, are too Asian.

At Monte Vista and Lynbrook, B students rank in the bottom third of the class. "White kids are thought of as the dumb kids," says a white PTA president.

Hmm. If I didn't know better, I'd say it was time to bring in some "diversity consultants" to do a number of things. 1) Check to see if the tests are "culturally biased" against whites. 2) Are teachers in these schools "culturally sensitive" to white students' needs? 3) How many non-Asian teachers are in these schools? In other words, there might be a need for more white "role models."

Etc.
