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.
“Liberal” Yankees are liberal on all things but race; the same dynamic is here in northeast NJ right across the Hudson River. Reminds me of the apartheid system, and is probably the only way wealthy whites can share a city with non-whites who place no value on educations; this isn’t just about the quality of the education falling through the floor, but the physical safety of their precious children.
Evaluating based on “diversity” is just a way to pretend that a war zone school has anything positive to score - a fabricated, meaningless gauge when measuring education.
Do you have links to those?
Why destroy the quality of education in a silly quest for total equality?
Total equality can only come by moving standards down to the lowest common denominator.
Schadenfreude watching the left eat its own, though.
Thing is that in NYC you can either go to your zoned school or any other public school of your choice. It’s not always easy to get into a school your not zoned for but it can be done.
If this were a serious proposition a lot on Minorities that have gotten into schools outside of their zoned schools would have to go back to the poorly performing schools in their neighborhoods.
They reap what they sow.
