THIS is the final destruction of the NYC schools by the biggest a-hole straight-out commie mayor NYC has ever seen. I cannot see how this is legal, basing school admittance on race. Nor can I see why this is necessary. The premise is, minority students can't learn in mostly minority schools. So, they have to be placed in the few remaining schools in NYC which still function--and surprise, which are not mainly minority. Since DumblASSio only cares about minorities and illegals, he couldn't give a ___ about the educational fate of non-minority students when their once-functional schools are overrun with thugs who see the new schools merely as places to destroy, just like they did with their neighborhood schools. The laugh will be on these 2 commies, DumblASSio and Carranza, when even pushing aside non-minority kids who want to learn in favor of minorities who don't doesn't improve grades or passing rates. Then they will fake (even more than they're doing now) passing rates to justify their bigotry against non-minority students as "a success". All they will "succeed" in doing, as some wiser heads have predicted, is to drive those remaining non-minority students into private schools or out of the school system altogether when disgusted parents move. Maybe they don't want their kids sitting in classes constantly disrupted by cell phone shenanigans, fights, talking, kids walking in late all period long, etc. where it is darn near impossible to hear, let alone learn. That's what's in store for their kids, which pretty much ensures failure. Since those parents probably care, they will do whatever they can do to get their kids into a better learning environment--which may by necessity be moving out of NYC. The end result will be a school system almost entirely populated by students who don't see any value in education, and classrooms which are nightmares. Way to go, you colossal imbeciles; take your "diversity" and shove it.

So it’s institutionalized racism.

How difficult it is to devise the perfect hierarchy of people better than others. Whom to put at the top? Muslims? Transgenders? Illegals? Are Asians more valuable than whites? These decisions are so important and need to be made by the correct elite people...

[arthurus]

The elite public schools in NYC will be tearing themselves out of elite status both culturally and academically.

What this kind of thinking has done is (1) to cause a situation where blacks and hispanics have been molded to be good enough, but not to reach their full potential. Compare that to the three woman portrayed in Hidden Figures. They had to set the highest possible standards for themselves in order to get ahead. (2) give the elite DecisionMakers more flexibility about which minority members to choose. Uncle Toms who do exactly what the system wants them to do and are easily persuaded by the false narrative are tops on the list. (well, except for criminals with incredible football skills....they come first)

[38special]

Aren’t most school kids in NYC predominantly black and hispanic anyway?

[proxy_user]

So if you’re only 40% African, you won’t get priority?

Maybe you’ll have to get a job as a headline writer...

Whites are going to be put at the back of every line until they stand up for themselves as a group.

[aquila48]

I thought races don’t exist.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Yup...it’s crap like that is another big reason why Whites have been leaving the Dims in droves

And the Asians need to wake up and follow.

The premise is, minority students can't learn in mostly minority schools.

It's interesting, the circles that NY liberals (and many others) go in.

1. Minorities need to be among whites to have access to "good" schools. BUT...
2. If there are too many whites, the minorities feel outnumbered, so bring in more minorities. ALSO
3. Minorities don't like to learn from white teachers. So bring in Minority teachers. AND...
4. Minorities don't like to read classic white literature. So bring in the dumbed down "culturally relevant" writing. This is getting expensive, so NOW...
5. Raise taxes on the white families to pay for it. SUDDENLY...
6. White families realize they are paying astronomical taxes for minority teachers to teach minority literature and concerns catering to minority students, and their own kids are in a shrinking, marginalized group who are getting beat up in the bathrooms. EXIT...
7. to private school and now the minorities are fully in charge of the building. Then the scores start going down again. And it all starts up again.

It really sounds like they just need white folks around (and Asians) to keep the tax base and score average high enough to pay for the shenanigans and look good on paper and in brochures. But the fact is, whites are shock absorbers to them and little else. And if we decline to be buffers, we're "racist."

NYC schools to give priority to predominantly black and Hispanic kids

Proving one again, that ...

Public School is Child Abuse.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

[EdnaMode]

More discrimination against whites and Asians. The Democrats are the true racists.

[IronJack]

diversity drive = anti-white racism.

[sphinx]

Since only 15 percent of NYC's public school kids are white, options are pretty limited. Probably every white kids needs to be simultaneously enrolled in three schools in three different boroughs, and bussed twice a day.

What is probably really driving this project is a furious resentment that a few schools have sufficient neighborhood concentrations of white families to create a white oasis school. The powers that be in NYC want white people to realize that they are now a minority, and that no institution will be tolerated that is not majority non-white and culturally anti-white.

[WashingtonSource]

What is a predominantly black kid? A predominately Hispanic kid? Are we talking of mixed race children that are more black and/or Hispanic than other races? That’s what it sounds like.

[Joe Boucher]

You all white folk in N.Y. Best watch your asses.
Pretty soon they will take your homes and property away to give to those not white.
South Africa here we come

[Jack Hammer]

Apparently, racism is perfectly okay as long as it discriminates against Whites and Asians.

[waverna]

If I’m reading the article correctly, NYC schools are only 15% white, how much more diverse can they get? Also, isn’t everyone who lives in the districts eligible? What ‘admissions’ are they talking about?
