Oh, thought we were talking about a Korean for a sec.
White guilt results in the dissolution of white culture.
Very interesting. These liberal white parents are opposed to their ultra liberal mayor shoving this integration plan down their throats.
Very interesting. I wonder if his support will take a hit in the polls, and/or if parents will pull their kids out of school, which would defeat the entire purpose of the plan? I wonder how these liberal parents, who pride themselves on being liberal, like being compared to the whites in the old South who resisted integration? It’s enough to bruise a white liberal’s self esteem............
These are white liberals in Brooklyn getting what they voted for.
Good luck with that.
diversity = no admissions standards
You cannot raise people beyond their ability. So, the only way to achieve equality is to lower people of above minimum ability to the minimum.
Kurt Vonnegut anticipated this in “Harrison Bergeron.”

Kudos to the NYP for a good article. But don’t feel sorry for those residents — they need to start fighting back. Until they do, they are getting what they deserve.
In the meantime they will watch the quality of their schools plummet.
I’d yank my White kid out of that school faster than they could make the change.
Look, I’m not against some diversity, but the way they have described it here, they aren’t worried about former grades or the ability to pay.
That isn’t an effort to created diversity. It’s an effort to destroy the school.
Upper Left Side Libs love big government, social-engineering and De Blasio. So what’s the problem?
Sounds good to me. Ultra-liberal Park Slope will soon be complaining that their spoiled kids are getting beat up, harassed, robbed and raped.
People are too afraid of being called racist.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of NIMBY liberals bwa ha ha!!!! No worries, they will pull their kids and and a new crop of private magnet schools will open. Business opportunity for anyone in the education field. In a few years, these public schools will be so diverse there wont be any white students.
Say what??? Which 'deep south'? The entire 'deep south' was owned by Spain and France until early 1800s, and as soon as the US acquired these territories, the North started slave-dumping on the South.
The most racism that the US has ever seen has been from Yanks. From importing slaves to begin with to slave-dumping, to laws preventing blacks and southern whites post-Civil War to work and live freely in northern and western states, to abandoning the Southern "reconstruction" entirely to robber carpetbaggers after really flubbing things up. The slums built to isolate and warehouse blacks are in the north, not the south. Not that a first gen'er would bother to get to know these things, but get it straight, de Bluster-o
They get what the voted for. Embrace the suck!
Liberals play with snakes and then get bit. No sympathy here.
Libtards think Republicans are their greatest opponent, but it will be former Libtards— as a certain percentage of these parents are about to become— who will pull down the centre pole which causes the circus tent of left wing idiocy to collapse in on itself.
If they think the parents are upset, wait till the teachers in these posh schools find out what it’s like to deal with a class that’s 52% “under-privileged.”
you got it...
de Blasio
Parents, time to grow a pair. Or move.
