We want special recruiting tracks at YOUR schools for urban kids. But for OUR schools? Yes, just a single score that fairly compares ALL students, so classroom order is maintained, and no kids come to school with guns and 'fro picks.

Where’s the HA - HA kid cartoon?
Liberals just hate people.
These should be the first schools for liberal social experiments. Maybe bus these kids to other schools in the area to desegregate them and give everyone equal opportunity to be beat up, raped, and killed.
This is really more of a misrepresentation than reality...
Placing students into schools they are not academically able to perform in is a disservice to everyone....
Forcing a school for high achievers to accept those who are academically unable to do the work is a recipe for disaster for everyone involved.
Do you have the link to the news source? I’m just seeing twitter.com
Not the least bit surprised. We all know about events in Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Little Rock, etc., but few remember the violent opposition to busing in Boston, Hartford and other areas in the Northeast.
I just wanted to point out that this isn’t about Manhattan schools. This is actually about the few “elite” schools that haven’t been touched yet by this nonsense and still use testing for admissions. Basically, Bronx HS of Science, Stuyvesant, La Guardia (in midtown, not near the airport), Brooklyn Tech, and a few others that use the SHSAT test.
This isn’t about what snooty Manhattan parents want for their kids. It’s more about “everyone should be entitled to a, say, Stuyvesant education experience, even if that experience will suddenly become a thing of the past.”
And to think, busing kids across town was all the rage back in 1962, IN THE SOUTH ONLY!
When it started in the North, talk about fireworks! Looks like it bit them in the butt.
I guess the NYC Ed Dept folks are now saying they will subsidize these blacks & Hispanics while you Whites and Orientals (I know, Asians:-) will continue to Pay! I qualified for and was accepted into Art & Design HS in Manhattan and let me tell you I had to drop out because I couldn’t afford the implements required for the classes (I was raised by a single Mom and had two sisters). Unfortunately I had the talent but not the $ to stay in.
My Wife and her Sisters were Bussed to a “Minority” area School when they were Kids. It didn’t go well.
Now your northern n*****’s a negro
You see he’s got his dignity
Down here we’re too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the n***** free
Yes he’s free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he’s free to be put in a cage
On the South Side of Chicago
And the West Side
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Hough in Cleveland
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In East St. Louis
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Fillmore in San Francisco
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Roxbury in Boston
They’re gatherin’ ‘em up from miles around
Keepin’ the n*****s down
