Equal Opportunity For Some?

According to "the newly adopted requirement, the parity rate [for hiring people of color in Cambridge Public Schools] should be 30 percent." Are 30 percent of the population of Cambridge people of color? Who created the "newly adopted requirement?" What is the requirement for hiring persons with disabilities in the Cambridge Public Schools? Is it zero percent? Do the morally superior liberals who run the city believe that all persons with disabilities are morons? What is the problem with these allegedly fair minded people trying to equalize opportunities who refuse to allow persons with disabilities to participate in life in Cambridge? Could they be bigots, who support equal opportunities only for themselves but not for others?

[From article]
"Overall, Cambridge Public Schools employs 1,196 people throughout the district. Of those, 270 are people of color, making their racial parity rate 22.5 percent. According to the newly adopted requirement, the parity rate should be 30 percent."
