Under new federal mandate that takes effect next year in Oregon would require that each student must be identified told racially and ethnically which until now, has been voluntary information.
The government believes that it is crucial to collect complete, precise and consistent data, and some state and federal funding hinges on the districts compliant.
" “Our stance in 4J is we do not believe that one human being can observe and identify another individual’s race and ethnicity,” said Carmen Urbina, the district’s parent, family and community coordinator.
Parents who still refuse to report, which is still there right, the schools will exercise a "default" option and mark every single racial category which results in identification of "multiracial."
just like the federal mandate it already requires on all employment EEO forms to indicate whether you are "Hispanic" or "not Hispanic" and then everything else.
I guess the question is, who decides on making these types of regulations that we all have to follow.
Gee, talk about racial profiling.
