Students from one of the most selective New York City public high schools, which is half white, staged a walkout to advocate for more diversity in the city’s schools.

About 300 students at the prestigious Beacon High School walked out of class on Monday to demonstrate against the school’s stringent admissions standards, according to the New York Times. They believe that rigid screening procedures have contributed to segregation in the school system.

“The abundance of privilege in our school is so universal that it usually goes unquestioned and unnoticed,” said Toby Paperno, a white student at the school.

During the protest, students chanted slogans such as “end Jim Crow” and “education is a right, not just for the rich and white.”

Couldn’t all these students go to their neighborhood schools, if they believe the magnet school is insufficiently diverse?

“Tell them to go back to public school.”

It is a public school. It’s just a selective one.

Isn’t the law supposed to stop racism? As exclusion, separate clubs for one race only, mocking KKK type gatherings to intimidate people of one unwanted color?

NO.
Just can be used against whites. They already have some black only groups in several places. No protection.

Half white school? And that’s not dark enough for then?

No problem. Bus in hood rats from the ghetto. Watch standards and test scores plummet like a rock. Watch an accredited high ranking school devolve to an educational failure in 3 months. Watch rich privileged white kids get mugged in the halls.

Idiots. Freaking stupid idiots.

Should the administration immediately replace the white students protesting with minorities?
