Richard Carranza slams parents who question admissions changes

Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza vowed Wednesday to remake admissions to the city’s specialized high schools to enroll more black and Latino students — and got hearty cheers from nearly every member of the City Council’s education committee.

Carranza also again skewered parents who questioned the impact on academic quality of City Hall’s proposal to diversify the largely Asian and white schools as “racist.”

This is such a tragedy. The half-dozen schools left in NYC which are functioning at a high level with gifted motivated students are about to be DESTROYED by the far left anal orifices DumblASSio and Carranza in the name of "racial equality". If their black and Hispanic students cannot pass the entrance exam, because they were not motivated enough to work hard learning in their classes, why would these commie pieces of garbage think that once they walk through the doors of Stuyvesant HS, Brooklyn Tech, Townsend Harris or Bronx Science HS, they would magically perform at a high level? These students can barely READ, let alone compose intricate essays, work higher math problems, or design a controlled experiment. I can tell you from experience that they will NOT be able to handle the work and, thus frustrated, they WILL respond by acting out and disrupting classes. Then no one will be able to learn. Will that make these commie sons of whores happy? That is the commie way---everyone must be the same---even if it's low quality. The kids already at these schools will be subjected to bullying from the newcomers, they may be forced to provide test answers by bullies, the lack of respect for teachers will become the new culture at these schools, until they closely resemble the ghetto schools the newcomers came from. I've never seen bad kids turn into good kids by being transferred to a good school--only the opposite. These few specialized schools are the ones holding up the median scores achieved in NYC. When they start to falter---and they will, with all the disruption and special attention the newcomers will require---median test scores will fall and there won't be any high scores to bolster the city median. The city school system, headed by a commie hardliner moron and a fool whose vocabulary consists of "equality", "diversity", "Hispanic", and "black", will sink under the waves like the Titanic. Thousands of talented and gifted students, shown prejudice because they were NOT Hispanic or black, will have nowhere to go to simply sit quietly and learn unless their parents can spring for private schools. This is a disgrace and a shame. DumblASSio leaves a trail of s___ wherever he goes.

Soon there will be remedial classes at the Bronx High School of Science.

New York is decaying rapidly. Amazon smelled the rot as they got close and withdrew. Many other people and businesses are doing the same. Notice that real estate values in New York City are weakening. Soon the socialists in power there will be screaming for Federal aid and if it does not come, it will because of “racism”.

Those that can will head for the exits. Most parents will do ANYTHING, including relocate, for their kids. The Great Blue Diaspora will accelerate.

The problem is many are still blue in thought (as usual, hypocrisy is not a big deal to libs) and they may infect their targets as they have done in CO and are i the process of in Texas.

Can’t imagine what remedial differential equations would be like. Or remedial quantum mechanics.

This is just a small tidbit, but when I lived in Denver I taught at a community college. I really could not believe does the high schools have let those students graduate with the level of reading and writing skills they had. unbelievable.

Didn’t we bail out NYC in the 70s?

“Soon there will be remedial classes at the Bronx High School of Science.”

No different than most colleges.

[Pearls Before Swine]

It will be remedial reading and remedial arithmetic for those having difficulty with the advanced courses that the school is famed for.

Someone needs to call him out on his stupid and constant dropping of “racism” charges.

If NYC wants more blacks and latinos in the magnet high schools, then DO A BETTER JOB EDUCATING THEM FROM THE BEGINNING.

Sorry for yelling.

Is he also calling it the Make Americans Stupid Act??

They are probably there now.

This bs is why, what used to be a 4 year degree in college is now a 5 to 7 year degree. They have to cover the basics that should have been taught in High School.

‘This is just a small tidbit, but when I lived in Denver I taught at a community college. I really could not believe does the high schools have let those students graduate with the level of reading and writing skills they had. unbelievable.’

...and yet nothing gets done. 25 years ago I read ‘Inside American Education’, a book by the legendary Thomas Sowell detailing how horrible American education had become - and that was A GENERATION AGO. That was all that I needed to know to NEVER send my kids to public school, and they never stepped into one, at least as a student. It took some work for me, moving to Texas, to keep living costs down, living in a lower class area near work [not a slum, but not where Senators live either], not caring about what I drove [since I could walk to work, if needed], and certainly not giving a crap about what the Jones’ thought of me.

But having such a terrible education system in the US ended up making the lives of my kids great. All that I had to do was give them a traditional education in reading [phonics] and math [times tables, no calculators] and they were years ahead of their [now dumbed-down] grade level, got into good colleges, and got good degrees. And my kids were no Einsteins - they could care less about doing school work and it often took some ‘tough love’ to get them away from their toys [obviously they didn’t have video games or internet access], but it was dumbing down of all the other kids that made it so easy for them - Had this been 50 years ago, or Japan/China/India/Russia today, my kids would have been average, at best. So, in a way, I don’t really care if our education system improves, since if it doesn’t, my grand kids will again have a huge advantage over ‘normally-educated’ kids.

But most people, virtually everyone that knows my kids, what they’ve done, how they were educated...still send their kids to the public schools [but they do drive nicer cars than us, that’s for sure!]

Conservatives punted education to the Left and don’t seem to have any serious interest in getting it back. The really wealthy simply send their kids to expensive private schools, so they don’t give a crap. The Upper Middle Class live in ‘wonderful’ neighborhoods, with ‘wonderful’ schools, at least that’s they believe, so they don’t want anything to change, and so they elect people, mostly Republicans, but who keep the Leftist education system in place, and of course Democrats have no interest in improving anything.

Stalemate.

“Thousands of talented and gifted students, shown prejudice because they were NOT Hispanic or black, will have nowhere to go to simply sit quietly and learn unless their parents can spring for private schools.”

I recently posted about one of our younger relatives getting accepted in 8 engineering colleges after 4 years in a good
private school.

His parents and other parents were holding a cul de sac party recently, and the parents of the kids in the public school wondered how that happened. Their ‘smarte’ kids had not been accepted at any Cal college or university.

Hi mother pointed out all of the new and expensive SUV’s in
the driveways in the cul de sac and then their 12 year old SUV in their driveway.

She said it was a matter of priorities and choices.
