I’m in NYC, and while this isn’t a huge issue it’s always amazing to watch Upper West Side white, ultra-liberal, wealthy parents screaming at school board meetings against proposals to bring low-income minority students into their local public school. It’s twilight zone kinda stuff and I relish the videos.
I wonder where DeBlasio’s kids went to school? I’ll have to look that up, but dollars to donuts it was private school. To me, forcing an unnatural integration, which benefits nobody, is just like taking a perfectly good bottle of water, and a slimy, dirty bottle of water, and telling people that mixing them together will improve the slimy bottle of water. Now, neither bottle is drinkable.
And of course, a diversity score with zero white people in the school is considered a perfect score.
These people hate white people and the dog whistle of diversity is what they use to slowly destroy the white race.

NY is competing with Cali and Il for the most screwed up states.
Its a high bar cause Cali to a early lead.

I see his son went to Brooklyn Tech, one of the most elite, prestigious, and selective high schools in the United States (according to Wikipedia). It admits only by competitive examination (if you’re average, you can’t go there). Unless your daddy is the mayor. And because they are technically a public school, the students go for free. They apparently aren’t being asked to diversify.
I misread the headline as EVACUATED vs evaluated based upon diversity. I wonder if there has ever been a study correlating increased violence with increased diversity?
So did NY State give up the Regents Exams that triggered nightmares in me twice a year?
The continuation of the “dumbing down” of our educational system!
Hmmm...very little mention of a shared level of academic achievement...
Its apparent that it is not WHO you are but WHAT you are that’s important. Education has been hijacked by the social justice warriors and is no longer about education its about your ethnic and sexual status and how to use it to get over on whitie
Dumb, dumber and dumbest is New York City’s motto and it lives up to that motto daily.
The school system isn’t the same in NYC as it was in the 50’s. Even the one the gave us Bernie, Ruthie and Chucky. It was a Public HS, that gave us many successful names. It too has changed, another local HS nearby died. In our world we have motivated learners and those who seek not to be educated beyond counting on their fingers and only go to school because it is required. Once they get into classes, they become disruptive and ruin it for those who wish to better themselves. Its impossible to fix stupid. The more we become less educated the quicker we will become another world s#!t hole. The reasoning behind our education system has always been the shotgun effect, out of one blast, a few pellets may hit the target. I didn’t get into Brooklyn Tech., my grades weren’t high enough, the same for Brooklyn College. However I still had enough motivation to go on. (Even with un-diagnosed ADD.) I wasn’t cut out to be a Rocket Scientist or a MD. I studied, took the regents exams and excelled in the tests but was just average in the classroom work. OH, lets add in, the parental push of the 50’s, it was the time of families who cared about their kids. Credit goes to the parents. Where are the parents of today? Do they no longer care? (r)
The stupid never ends.
Diversity is irrelevant, does not matter.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Where do rich liberals especially the white ones send their children?
MLK: Judge people by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. We have never been further away from that goal as we are right now where character matters not a wit and skin color along with other born traits are supreme concerns. BTW, the end result of this goal in NYC will be even more segregated schools as has happened everywhere governments have tried to force whites into situations they could find a way to avoid.
