李春燕谈如何做美国人(26):美国著名民权组织传播亚裔升学歧视

我们如何局限于华人圈,而学习其他族裔,并积极联系主流民权组织,发出我们的声音?宇空视野发文号召支持Michael Wang对藤校的complaint (见25), 我想起高法著名的Affirmative Action 案件(Gratz v. Bollinger), 以及二月份Jennifer Gratz 就SCA5发表的文章和她在Schuette v BAMN 案件之后的电视辩论,争得Michael父亲同意,去信给她的XIV Foundation,得到反馈要宣传Michael's case. 宇空先生又及时提供更多有关亚裔升学受歧视的文章链接,今晨看到XIV Foundation 已经把信息都加到网站最新的文章中,并发至订阅的读者群。我们在华人群体中传播,也应随时联系其他族裔团体,因为他们有更广的触角,以及更多的经验。 

重要文章链接在此。Please read and forward this important message so more can know of such cases and the effort of the XIV Foundation.

希望大家订阅XIV Foundation email list,并把我们如何与其他非华裔组织联系的信息传播出去。如果Foundation 订阅量有增加,我们与其他团体合作就会有更大效果。

XIV Foundation 就Schuette V BAMN 发给高法的Amicus Brief (法庭之友意见书)

http://sblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/2013-01-03-XIV-Foundation-amicus-supporting-petition-FINAL.pdf

看一下Grutter/Gratz最高法院平权案中,UMich 律师团队不但动员65 out of Fortune 500 companies to write 法庭之友意见书,还搬动退役军方高官写意见书。在民权案件中极少见。

转“巳subscribe XIVfoundation了,同意耍联合其他组织。读到changing classroom grades based on race—段时让我想到我儿子上学期受到的待遇,marking period 2 样样指标都超过了marking period 1, 但最后的letter grade 还比marking period 1 低,老师的理由是marking period 2 的expectation 更高了,而且说他very capable, 没有达到老师的期待。这合理吗?就因为他capable 就应该用比其他学生更高的标准来决定他的grade 吗?这跟用race 来决定升学是同出一辙。”
