S.F. school assignments made by 'diversity index' SAN FRANCISCO -- Parents are waiting anxiously by their mailboxes this week to learn where their children will go to school under the city's latest experiment in desegregation, which uses a complex formula based not on race but on a series of socieoeconomic factors. For the first time, school district officials are using a "diversity index" that doesn't directly include race or ethnicity to decide who will attend the coveted schools and who gets assigned to more troubled campuses. Parents had to submit their applications to the school district by Feb. 1. Letters notifying them which campuses their children have been accepted at are just now being sent out.

Good gawd! Was that Lorena Bobbitt??????? Message #239747 from Kevin Rose at Mar 19, 2002 2:30 AM On a lighter note, from Rhymes With Orange/Hilary Price (who says us liberals can't laugh at ourselves): One Mother Confesses My husband's plastic army men were in our basement, and I knew it was only a matter of time before my 4-year-old son found them. So I went downstairs with some scissors and cut off all their weapons. Now my son plays with little men fiercely pointing at each other... Night, all.
