I love it when liberals turn on each other.
Schadenfreude!
NYC gets the government it votes for.
Racist Lib’s show their true feelings.
Rich white LIBERAL parents. Please, accuracy in media.
Anybody think that the blacks will ever realize what the liberals are really doing to them. Gee. The liberal’s abortion mills are located into black neighborhoods. Black kids are herded into union controlled patronage cesspools masquerading as schools. The few kids that liberals spawn “choose” the best schools. Black “leaders” sell their souls for pennies.
I grew up on the UWS and the schools are good - and actually have a fair number of “minorities,” since the neighborhood has a large Hispanic presence and a mostly black housing project. And of course there are Asians, many of whose parents have moved to the neighborhood so they can get into those middle schools. The parents - including the black and Hispanic parents - have worked hard to keep those schools good, and now the new chancellor is announcing 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? And then he went for the gold by coming out and screaming to the press that it was all because of those evil white parents...and the guy has only been on the job a couple of weeks. What’s next?
Yep - wealthy White parent slams wealthy White parents....
Democrat Racist. I wonder if the Media will call that out?
Are more than half of the kids below average?
I’ll cut the parents some slack on this one; the school currently has a blind admissions system— if you are smart enough to pass you are considered for admission. Minorities already get preference— IF THEY PASS. What the new administrator is trying to do is bring in the ones that fail as well. Now, aside from points others have brought up— increased violence, crime, behavior problems, hostile learning environment for other kids— there is the cost part. These kids will be subsidized, and according to the administrator himself they will require additional resources (tutors, teachers) to try to get them up to minimal standards. They will likely fail, which will lead to a spiral of even more money being thrown at the problem which will eventually be footed by these parents and other taxpayers.
Wealthy Manhattan parents don't send their kids to public schools. These are middle/working class white parents, who are angry because sending their kids to private school is not an option.
Well they voted for it....Enjoy!
I was involved in a construction project in Chelsea.

Tuition is $54K per year for K-12.
The wealthy white liberals fully support this kind of integration policy because it will not affect them.
New Yorkers should show up at Deblabbio’s doorstep with torches and pitchforks. This guy is the worst.
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.
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!)
White liberal elites?
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.
