This EXACT thing happened in my school district when I was in 3rd grade. I don't know what you can do to stop it, but please do stay involved. My parents and the other parents who disagreed kind of dropped out of PTA and schoolboard meetings "in protest" and that just let them get away with even worse injustices to the poor/minority kids.

For two years, my school (because we weren't one of the magnets) didn't have a working Xerox and for years after that we didn't have enough textbooks. All of it went to the magnet schools. My school? 15% white. The magnets? 60% white. Ew.
