A School Committee lawyer argued Tuesday that leaving out the Westie whites exchange from text messages handed over to the Globe and a woman who turned out to be a secret member of the parents group suing over exam-school admissions was an innocent mistake, not part of some nefarious scheme to hide racial hatred by School Committee members.
In a motion asking a federal judge not to re-open the case, the committee s outside lawyer, Kay Hodge, added that even if those texts had been included in response to public-records requests, it s hardly proof of racial bias in the way the committee devised a system using both pre-Covid grades and Zip codes to figure out who to offer seats at the three exam schools - because Alexandra Oliver-Dávila and Lorna Rivera s feelings about certain White parents they felt were biased were already evident in the thousands of pages of documents the parents group wanted to submit as part of its case.
