In Seattle, it appears to be the case.  All of the emphasis on diversity seems to hinge on racial integration.  The problem is that true diversity is so much more then just race.  I'll get back to that in a moment.

The story in Seattle was about the use of race as a tie breaker in the open admissions policy.  When a number of students all wanted to attend a particular school, and there were too many equally qualified applicants, their race was used to determine those admitted, with he goal being to balance the school to a racially diverse population.

Seattle Schools has a long history of this absurd obsession with racial diversity.  See these posts:

• Political Correctness, White Privilege and Racist Furniture
• Seattle racism in the name of racial diversity is still racism
• Prayer in School ok in Seattle, as long as it’s Muslim?

Why absurd?  Consider this report that indicates the futility of these programs.

The story continues as the SCOTUS ruled last week that the use of race has to stop (to be fair, the policy was suspended pending the court case).

High court rejects school integration plans

The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected the Seattle school district's racial tiebreaker, along with a school-integration plan in Kentucky, but left the door open for the limited use of race to achieve diversity in schools.

The reactions have been utterly ridiculous.  They are in full panic demagogue mode.  Consider this bit from Speaker Pelosi.

Supreme Court School Decision a Retreat From Our Nation’s Commitment to Opportunity and Equality

I am extremely disappointed in the Supreme Court’s decision overriding the efforts of local communities to grapple with the complex issue of diversity in our schools. This decision is a retreat from our nation’s commitment to opportunity and equality in our schools and a retreat from the fundamental values of our country.
