Stuy is the only specialized HS where Asians are the majority. My child attended what is the #2 Specialized HS, it was a mix of White, Whit Russian, Indian, Asian, Hispanic, and Black.
The problem with the Specialized test is that it is color blind. Once a student gets past the test, if they are not capable of learning and keeping up, they will soon wash out unless they dumb down the schools. I think I know what the mayors second move will be if he is successful.
And that would be the final step in the tragedy: dumbing down the schools.
This has been going on since at least the early 1990s. Was the guy’s name Fernandez, from Florida, who wanted to eliminate the schools completely? They changed schools chancellors like their underwear.
Stuy is of course near Chinatown. The kids go there if they possibly can, and they can.
By the way, the NY Philharmonic also has lots of Asians. They make musicians audition behind a curtain so prejudices can’t intervene.
Don’t destroy the meritocracy, folks. Wake up to American greatness.
