Ethnic Balance

Re “Parents Urge Proximity, Not Ethnic Parity” (Jan. 20).

By whose edict is it that the Moorpark Unified School District assumes the power to force Anglo-American families of middle to upper incomes, living in the neighborhoods they have chosen, to see their children sent to bring “ethnic balance” to schools in the enclaves wherein immigrants have chosen to settle?

Wherein lies the justice in telling the Norte Americano who was here first that he must accommodate to the wants of the foreign-speaking immigrant (or to the wants of the public school administrator who sees his role as that of ethnic mix-master champion of the multiculturalist who abhors the thought of a school populated solely by the white heterosexual Anglo-Saxon Christian of Western European extraction, which graced our public schools only two generations ago?
