Considering race in decision making is not inherently racist. Read the article carefully. The policy speaks of some races being under-represented. That race could be white, or black, or any other category. At this time whites are over-represented, but in time that could change and then the same policy would favor white people.

So let’s put this scenario out there: A minority teacher teaching in a mostly white school is RIF’d. Does she go so a white teacher with less seniority can stay because she represents the greatest amount of students? After all, it’s about the children, correct?

If you have a significant number of minority students, it will behoove you to make race one of the qualifications for the candidates. Not mandatory, of course, but as a preference. Just like you would prefer to have a teacher who grew up in the same area, speaking the same language. That's what the research says.

What research?
