From the supplier: Chinese San Franciscans have filed a lawsuit challenging the city school district's alleged racial quota system. A 1983 consent decree divides the student population by ethnicity, so that each school cannot have more than 40-45% of any one ethnic group. Chinese students, comprising 30% of the high school population, are unfairly penalized by this policy. The Chinese American Democratic Club, unable to force the issue by other means, brought the law suit through a legal foundation it created.

From the author: Poor dietary habits, rising rates of overweight students, and lack of oversight of vending contracts prompted the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to develop and implement 2 of the most comprehensive nutrition policies in the country. The Healthy Beverage Resolution and Obesity Prevention Motion limit the types of and access to beverages and snacks on school campuses. This study used qualitative and quantitative methods to document the development, implementation, and impact of the LAUSD nutrition policies. Questionnaires were administered to 399 12th-grade students in 2 LAUSD high schools to determine knowledge of the policies, perceptions of the impact of the policies on student dietary behaviors, and attitudes toward the policies and the school nutrition environment. Over one half of all students indicated that the policies impacted the foods and beverages they consumed at school, whereas only about one fifth indicated the policies impacted what they ate or drank at home/outside of school. However, for those students" who indicated the policies had an impact, they reported they ate or drank fewer of the banned items both at school and at home/outside of school. These results point to the need for additional research to determine if school policies impact student behaviors outside of the school setting. Removing unhealthy food items from schools may not be enough to improve student's overall dietary behaviors. A coordinated multilevel approach including nutrition education, physical education, and parental involvement along with policies and modifications in food service is recommended.
