“’Everyone wants equity as long as it doesn’t inconvenience them,’ said Eric Moore, senior officer for accountability, research and equity for Minneapolis Public Schools, where about a third of students — some 10,000 children of different races — were assigned to new schools this year.

The changes included redrawing school zones, including for North. ‘This plan is saying, everyone is going to be equally inconvenienced because we need to collectively address the underachievement of our students of color,’ Mr. Moore added.”
