Context: from the comments, the class is not restricted by race, anyone can enroll.... the code that they use to enroll in the class is different depending on your race, supposedly for tracking people who enroll by their ethnicity.
To me this is still a divisive policy. Race should not be a factor at all. To categorized people by their race is useless and doesn't help anyone, it can only further divide us.
Democrats: "race is a social construct. It doesn't mean anything"
Also Democrats: "race is a critical factor in every decision allocating money or power in society and preferential treatment should be given to brown people."
I would have to disagree based on my reading of the responses. That was just one of the theories offered. Another possibility suggested they want to provide an environment for certain groups to make sure they aren't forced to learn with peers who are culturally insensitive. Honestly there are easier ways, and less potentially illegal ones, to track ethnicity if that is all they want.
I can't imagine any school administrator doing this unless they were trying to get the Supreme Court to reopen their previous ruling. The current interpretation of the equal protection clause must be horribly inconvenient for their plans to divide us.
It isnt a theory, it explicitly states that the code to register is restricted, there is codes for every race. That being said, it's still a ridiculous policy, and as GuerroRanchero states, "Race should not be a factor at all. To categorized people by their race is useless and doesn't help anyone, it can only further divide us."
