The new chief of New York City's public schools got a lot of attention over a tweet he shared on Friday that referred to some parents in the school district as 'wealthy white Manhattan parents.' Chancellor Richard Carranza tweeted a story from the rawstory.com web page, which posted to his account with the following auto-generated text: 'WATCH: Wealthy white Manhattan parents angrily rant against plan to bring more black kids to their schools.' Carranza told NBC's News 4, 'They weren't my words,' despite the fact that the tweet sparked a lot of engagement over the headline, which was mostly in support of the chancellor's post. The post had garnered over 3,000 likes, more than 2,400 retweets and nearly 500 comments in the 20 hours since he shared it, at close to 1.00am Eastern on Friday.

I wonder if anyone will dare mention the connection between the low performing students whose test scores have the parents so riled up about the plan and the race of those students. Now that would be fun to see.

Another question: Do we dare ask if it might also be a matter of better teachers at these West Manhattan schools? A host of social and cultural differences? You know, all those things good Liberals are never supposed to talk about.

...a plan to bring in a full 25% of “low performing” kids from elsewhere.

Can you imagine what suddenly filling the school with violent, failing teenagers is going to do, not only to the schools but the neighborhood?

Not only that, but what about the 25% of adequately performing kids who will be shipped out to take the places of that 25% of low performers"?

[SunkenCiv]

Those schools you paid for? Not your schools! Thanks C19fan.

The 9th Circuit judges need to rule that Manhattan MUST buy $10 million worth of school buses and begin busing Harlem students to Manhattan and vice versa. (Yes, I know that the 9th Circuit has no jurisdiction in NY, but New Yorkers need to experience the joys of Carpetbaggers)

These school buses must be amphibious, in light of the research done by New Orleans mayor, Ray Nagan.

(I really need to stop.... this is too much fun!)

[Moonman62]

Good analysis.

This has been going on for decades.

The evil liberals advertise this as the school having a good influence on the bad kids, but they know full well the opposite happens.

[Inspectorette]

What the evil *itch actually said was that churchgoers pray on Sunday, then “prey on” other folks the rest of the week.

[GOPJ]

White liberal elites?

[HamiltonJay]

A high performing school suddenly inundated with 25% low performing students can only end 1 or 2 ways.

The bulk of the low performing kids flunk out, or they lower standards so everyone gets a lower education to keep them from flunking out.

I really don’t see this as a race thing and it’s pretty disingenuous that it’s being franed that way

[petitfour]

Or the majority of the WHITE students and a few high performing minorities move away or transfer to private schools. See cities all over the South.

[Freee-dame]

There are states in the liberal northeast where there is a different school district for each town. If your town has a million dollar or higher average home price, you will have public schools as good as just about any private school.... makes it very easy to stay a pontificating liberal about equality.

[Lockbox]

when Liberals propose things, they are righteous, when the opposition objects, they are shamed, bullied and belittled.

and every time the Libs do something like this I plan to shame, bully and belittle them. Payback's a B......

You work yourself to the bone in order to be able to afford a nice neighborhood for your family with good schools. For anyone with kids who cares about their future, good schools is a major criterion of neighborhood choice. So you sacrifice, save, and buy that home in a nice neighborhood with good schools. In order to make some sort of "racial quota" dreamed up by libtard morons like DeBlASSio, your Susie and your neighbor's Johnnie may very well find themselves sitting next to Tyshawn, by-blow of a one nighter of a school dropout and a gangbanger. Tyshawn's "mother" has no idea of how he's doing in school or even if he is IN school any given day. Tyshawn has had little healthcare and might even be deficient in the essential childhood vaccines, but will be allowed to sit between Susie and Johnnie for several months before the school nurse finally sends a notice to the teacher that Tyshawn is not allowed to be back to class until he is vaccinated. Tyshawn's living environment includes heavy use of vulgar and curse language, which he freely uses in his school environment. He can barely read or write, so the teacher has to take time away from Susie and Johnnie to devote to Tyshawn's deficiency. Because he is frustrated by the work he cannot do, Tyshawn also frequently acts out so that no kid in that class can get much in the way of learning done. And the other kids learn some cute new words and actions from their new classmate that would horrify their parents.

Is this fair to the parents who sacrifice to afford nice schools for their children? Having fouled their own nest, kids like Tyshawn will go on to despoil the learning environment of his nice new school on the upper West Side and any other school he's sent to. All in the name of commie agenda, "racial diversity". Good doesn't "catch" with Tyshawn, but acting out is infectious to the formerly decent kids. I've seen this happen dozens of times.

Thanks - I saw a clip on Fox and it didn’t go into the details when it was flashed up.

Many of the upwardly mobile black and Hispanic parents send their kids to Catholic school, but those who can’t know that they’ll be going to a good neighborhood school.

As for the genuinely rich (and there are some on the UWS) they send their kids to private school.

So he’s attacking sonething that doesn’t exust anyway.

[livius]

Yes, and that’s what the current parents are so concerned about. What happens to their kids to make room for that 25%?

[stellaluna]

Steve there middle class people in that part of Manhattan?

[stellaluna]

Are there middle class people in that part of Manhattan?
