Man, NYC is self destructing all up and down the line.
No wonder Goldman is leaving.
How can any sane human being still live in New York City ?
There’s a whole, beautiful, intelligent world beyond DiBlasio’s imploded utopia.
Free yourself !
[[”Dalton’s teachers are refusing to come back” until the demands are met. ]]
buh bye!
“Progress,” indeed. Progressing towards a low IQ, black thugocracy.
Its not only NYC. In Fairfax County, they established a math/science high school about 20 years ago called “Thomas Jefferson” after the great thinker, inventor and President. It is currently ranked the best secondary school in the US. That, of course, is not enough. It is a perceived “problem” that 80 percent of the students are Asian (Americans of Chinese, Indian or Korean background) who got there on testing and merit. I really don’t care if 100 percent are Asian if they earned their spot so be it; these are our future physicists and mathematicians whom the US economy needs to advance and prosper. So, the School Administrators have their knickers too tight and are now insisting on a random choice approach for student selection so the “proper” racial mix of the county is accounted for. In other words, there is no reason for these kids to work and study to get there, it will be all chance which makes no sense but then again, neither do most educators today.
How about we take the best teacher’s from around the city and place them in the worst schools around the city and see if they can make a real difference for students?
Some time ago I dated a woman who was a Radcliffe grad.She told me that a classmate of hers,who was Vice Chancellor of Admissions at Harvard,told her that were it not for their affirmative action admissions policies every Freshman class there would be made up entirely of Asians and Jews.
This school is not elite, it is just expensive.
Also, the "racist meltdown" is just a typically irrational leftist meltdown.
Also, racist demands are not anti-racist demands.
Also, to quote Rush Limbaugh, "Words mean things."
“The schools have always been far left, which doesn’t align with my own ideology, but I didn’t really care”
Most parents are like this which is why America is where it is.
$54,000 a year to turn their kids into indoctrinated, unstable basket cases. They encourage self-hatred and neuroses in the white kids that can only be solved with left-wing political activism and busybody attitudes. They encourage dependence and entitlement in black kids where they tell them everyone owes them and that they’ll never get ahead in this horrible country so why try hard. This sort of thing only produces an ill and dysfunctional society.
“ My kids got an excellent education, free of these crazy leftists. I home schooled.“
Best 54k a year invested in your children’s success.
It is time to end the hypocrisy—these leftist schools need to stop using the evil white man’s electricity!
Once they get these demands met, I wonder what the next set of demands will be.
They are far too arrogant to admit they are ever wrong.
MY kid would be out of there so fast it wouldn’t be funny.
FOR GOOD.
Compensating any student of color who appears in Dalton promotional material.My rather white daughter went to the all-black high school where I taught. The school put her into every single student promotional photo in order to claim "diversity."
>>were it not for their affirmative action admissions policies every Freshman class there would be made up entirely of Asians and Jews.<<
Since the Middle East is part of Asia, Jews can be considered Asian too.
Quilette is dominated by foreigners who opine a bit too much about the US. They also are big on “women’s rights.”
