The racist attacks against Indian Americans on X in the context of the H-1B debate have been disgraceful. America was founded on the principle that all people are created equal. We are a nation of immigrants.

[Asian Justice Movement @AsianJusticeMvt]

Targeting people based on their race or origin betrays the ideals embodied in the U.S. Constitution. We must stand together to condemn this racial hate unequivocally.

Growing political backlash:
1. Board of Supervisors, led by @conniechansf, passed a resolution.
2. @AaronPeskin is the most outspoken critic of closure.
3. @DanielLurie and @MarkFarrellSF signed a letter concerning the plan would unfairly hurt Asians.

Update: SFUSD's documents show that student academic performance makes up a little less than 13.4% of the composite score.

[Asian Justice Movement @AsianJusticeMvt]

Today, the Asian Justice Movement (AJM) and a coalition of over 100 civil rights groups and community leaders sent an open letter demanding transparency and fairness from the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) in the school closure process.

[Asian Justice Movement @AsianJusticeMvt]

Student academic performance apparently was weighted at only 10% or less of the composite score. Any measure of equity must take into account the City's violence, exclusion, and discrimination against the Asian American community.

[Asian Justice Movement @AsianJusticeMvt]

1. Explain how the specific targeted schools were selected;

2. Explain why the closure process has prioritized eliminating high-performing schools that serve students who are majority or plurality Asian Amer.;

3. Reform the nonsensical composite score formula.

Join us.

[Asian Justice Movement @AsianJusticeMvt]

Curiously, even using the flawed composite score, the schools selected are not those with the lowest scores. The fact that the selection of schools for closure or merger was cloaked in a black box process undermines faith in the process itself. Accordingly, we demand that SFUSD:

There should be *way* more attention on this. LAPD killed Yang Yong, and has not released body camera footage or details of the investigation to the public. There must be public accountability. https://t.co/yyKC1kSMmQ
