These groups seem more and more out of touch with the public that they purportedly serve. Just look at the outcry over their attempt to manipulate the objective merit-based criteria for NYC's Specialized high schools. http://www.city-journal.org/2014/24_3_nyc-specialized-high-s...
While there is a critical need for better racial diversity at the schools, to try to 'fix' the problem at the 8th grade level (when it's usually too late) not only seems like a pure PR play, but it also hurts the thousands of sacrificing low income students who are currently getting accepted into these schools.
Civil rights in this country needs a disruptive reboot.
