Incredible (Literally) Quote From Michael Evans

This quote from Wake County Public School System's Michael Evans sounded completely different from what we've seen in practice here in Wake County for decades:

"The core of the student assignment plan is not free/reduced lunch, it's not ethnicity, it's growth and how do we keep our schools from being totally overrun," said Wake County Schools spokesman Michael Evans.

So, I looked it up on wcpss.net.  Perhaps he has not seen this page lately, which contains this item in the list of student assignment criteria:

"Appropriate and reasonable diversity (WCPSS's goal is that individual schools reflect a free and reduced lunch ratio no greater than 40% of its student population and an achievement level of less than 25% of students below grade level)"
