This is a help?

Berkeley, Calif High School has decided to help out minority students -- by eliminating the science department and thus free up resources to help the struggling minorities. The reason given is the science labs have only white students. Berkeley's has a dismal record of minority achievement. The school board vote was nearly unanimous. It is being soundly condemned by everyone else. I won't bother going into reasons here, though one of them is, making it harder for white kids to get into college is going to help the black kids? Parents will only send kids to private schools, increasing segregation.
