Utilizing census info to determine admissions is nothing other than shear laziness on CPS' part. Why not have parents provide income info? We have to do it if we apply for a child care subsidy and numerous benefits program, why not CPS? I don't recall what the Supreme Court said about using race plus other factors--but that would seem the best route to go if possible. Or how about looking at parents educational level? Come on CPS--this is one of the laziest efforts I've witnessed in a system that routinely puts bureaucratic expediency over the best interest of children.
