Take a look at this article. This is from the chancellor of NYC schools:

NYPost - NYC schools chancellor calls for end to elite school test as Asians dominate
Schools Chancellor Meisha Ross-Porter called for an end to the specialized high school entrance exam Thursday while fuming about new admissions data that showed Asians dominating the controversial test once again.
Citing the minimal number of offers to black and Hispanic students, Ross-Porter called the current single-test entry format “unacceptable.”
Asians comprised 53.7 percent of those admitted, whites 27.9, Hispanics 5.4, and African Americans 3.6.
“I know from my 21 years as an educator that far more students could thrive in our Specialized High Schools, if only given the chance,” she said in a statement accompanying the results. “Instead, the continued use of the Specialized High School Admissions Test will produce the same unacceptable results over and over again, and it’s far past the time for our students to be fairly represented in these schools.”

Imagine that. Instead of blaming the public school system for not educating underprivileged minorities enough, they blame the test itself for "producing the same unacceptable results over and over again."
My wife went to Bronx Science. The CEO of AMD, Lisa Su, went to Bronx Science. Many of my friends from college went either to Bronx Science or Stuyvesant. They have all become very successful people. And they also happen to be Asian-American.

This is what the left is doing to education in America these days. They are destroying it.
And if they think that will close the gap between education in America and education in Asia, they are fooling themselves, and they are bringing about the downfall of the American republic.

P.S. - In my day, if you couldn’t pass an exam that simply tests your knowledge on a given subject—you were called stupid. Now you’re called "oppressed." |
