California Reduces Funding for Los Angeles School with "too many whites"

In California not only do the left coast political leaders believe that white privilege exists, but also being “too white” must be punished.  Proof?  At a middle school in the Los Angeles Unified School District the school is under the threat of losing funding because the Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood has a local white student population that exceeds 30 percent of the total.

The funding lost would have enabled the school to continue to hire more teachers and have smaller classes, but to qualify, the student body must be 70 percent or higher of Hispanics, blacks, Asians and other “non-Anglos”. White families have been moving in, so, over the last two years that percentage has fallen beneath the 70 percent level, meaning Walter Reed no longer qualifies for those extra funds.

Now, because of the news, parents fear that class sizes will increase as the number of teachers and other school personnel likely decreases.

The funding rule falls under a court-ordered integration program that has been in place since 1978.  It’s an affirmative-action-style rule that essentially is an insult to non-white populations, with a message that says non-whites need extra help because they are not capable of keeping up on their own.
