Here's an ugly reality of which people are either not aware or are simply not admitting:

But for Magnet Schools/Programs, there would be a whole lot more physical victimization of non-African-Americans in L.A. public schools. Why do I leave out the blacks in this equation? Because they have very statistically low representation in LAUSD magnet programs.

The reality of many LAUSD campuses in bad or "iffy" neighborhoods is that you have a general academics high school program that is majority Latino (i.e. illegal aliens, former illegal aliens, and the children of current or former illegal aliens). Encompassed by / insulated from the main campus is the magnet school composed of a couple hundred kids (Asians, Whites, Middle Eastern, etc.). A lot of these kids would be getting their butts kicked on a daily basis if they had regular contact with the criminal element that infests many of these campuses where lunch race riots are almost commonplace.

Then again, these "gifted" kids mostly wouldn't be attending the LAUSD school if it didn't contain a magnet program. The academic standards/expectations are rarely going to be the same for the child of a Korean business owner or a Jewish accountant, and a teenager from Michoacan who is the first person in his family to make it to the 10th grade.
