If you liked my previous post of how now students who may not even be able to play an instrument will be admitted to the arts high school on the basis of their complexion, here's another great one: DeBlASSio also wants to ruin the few remaining functional schools by reserving half of the seats in those precious few schools for low performing, non-English-speaking and failing students. Just what the heck does he expect will happen to that school's functionality? The blacks and Hispanics will act exactly how they did in their low-performing schools, disrupting classes, assaulting students, etc and POOF! The new school which used to function well will now become another ghetto school. I've NEVER EVER seen low performing kids with poor behavior turn into high performing kids with good behavior by being placed with high performing kids with good behavior. It's ALWAYS the other way around; the good kids give up with all the disruptions and interruptions in lessons, and start to turn in mediocre work.

I love how a couple of the libtard parents of kids already in the school see this as possibly a positive development; you can bet the bank that they have never in their lives worked with ghetto kids and seen them firsthand in action. If they had, they would not want their gently-reared sons and daughters anywhere near them. What will happen, as the story says, is that they will take their kids out of this school and the others slated for "diversity" and put them into private schools. Then, with no good-performing kids to "show them the way", these schools will sink below the sea surface, populated now only by poorly performing, unmotivated, behaviorly horrible students.

Another outright example of deliberate destruction of school demographics. Thus, destroying the schools. But Brooklyn must need the minority votes.....

If you assign students to elite schools at random, the schools will still be elite? Interesting idea. Let’s test it.

This serves no legitimate interest of any definable group but demagogues. It is a sickening pursuit of chaos for the sake of chaos.

De Blasio has to be a truly hate filled demagogue.

> the good kids give up with all the disruptions and interruptions in lessons, and start to turn in mediocre work <

Right. I taught for many years in an urban school district. The only bright spot was our Honors program. And it was merit-based. For example, to get into Honors Algebra II, you had to earn at least a B in Algebra I. (That Algebra I course did not have to be an Honors course.)

Well, about five years ago the Honors program was eliminated. It wasn’t diverse enough. So now you have Honors-eligible kids mixed in with bums who only show up for class once a week.

Scores are down. And of course the classroom teachers are blamed.

liberals continue the relentless march of dumbing down America.

Unless there is an injunction on this ruling I would be curious to see how the voters in those areas react as they’ll already have a pretty good idea of how its going even by November :)

The Marxist will ruin it all...if we let them.

Soon, they will make it against the law to expel any minority students without the approval of the superintendent. I kid you not, that is the law in Minneapolis.

Has the left’s war on education ever been more blatant?

These people have to be taken down. Not for the next four or eight years, but permanently.

The left must never have a voice in anything.

Let the elite Park Slope liberals in their million dollar brownstones practice what they preach..... diversity. LOL

Will these new B’lynn guidelines apply to Basis Charter schools?...

If not, why not.

I know that many well to do families, in Manhattan, send their kids to Basis.....why not require diversity for this institution, as well? Not everyone can afford the tuition and that’s just not fair!! /s
