When I was a math teacher in an urban school district, there was a demand for more black math teachers. Unfortunately, very few existed and many of those qualified took their skills to the private sector. In my last school, the district managed to hire one and he was really good. Ironically, the black students hated him because he demanded too much from them. After 15 years, he got hired by the local university who also wanted to meet diversity goals.

Oh wow. What a dilema.
