Racial discrimination Boston style

 William Jacobson:

Judge William Young has just announced in court that he is withdrawing the Opinion he issued dismissing the case brought by a Boston parents group over the so-called Boston “Zip Code Quota Plan.” For background see our posts:

• Boston Parents Sue Alleging Discrimination Against Asians and Whites In Change of Prestigious Public School Admissions
• As Predicted, Boston “Zip Code Quota Plan” For Elite Public Schools Reduced Asian and White Admissions, Raised Black and Latino
• Leaked School Committee Texts Showing Anti-White Bias May Reopen Boston “Zip Code Quota Plan” Case
• Court Showdown Over Boston “Zip Code Quota Plan” And Concealment of School Committee Anti-White Texts

The hearing has just concluded. The Judge was not happy. He found that the text messages concealed from the court were important, and that he was misled. He said he felt he had no choice but to withdraw his Opinion, and will decide later after the parties submit briefing, what he is able to do beyond withdrawing the Opinion given that the case is on appeal.

...

The Judge said he wants briefing as to his authority to do more than just withdraw the Opinion, including whether the school committee counsel and defense counsel violated ethical rules in the redactions of text messages and failing to call the court’s attention to the deception after it was revealed.

...

I think those responsible for misleading the court should be sanctioned.  This looks like a clever plan to hide racial discrimination by excluding kids in certain neighborhoods.
