The battle over the admissions standards at New York City’s elite public high schools has heated up again. After having failed to change the standards last year, Mayor Bill de Blasio is back at it, this time with some backup from celebrity freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. As usual, their impassioned pleas about the lack of black and Hispanic students completely ignores that it is Asian, not white, students who would bear the brunt of the proposed changes. At issue is the fact that these hyper-competitive high schools consider only a test score in deciding admissions

Well, just damn them for being smart and studying hard!
/s off
The degree which we deviate from a true meritocracy will largely define how successful a society we will be.
The Dems and the left want to put forward those with the LEAST merit, and punish all those with the greatest merit.
Societal suicide.

Asian- as in those from India or a China- study at Kumon every week for Math and are at Libraries on Saturday.
It is therefore a matter of study habits and intentional success. AOC was smashed partying- still can’t believe she has an Economic degree-

Sweetheart, what are you going to do about it? Can you organize a volunteer tutoring program to help the students in your district?
In the 60´s, I took many NYS Regents exams. We had to raise ourselves to the standard. We didn´t complain to have the standards altered.

AOC seems to have been the beneficiary of affirmative action. She was either badly taught at Columbia or shouldn´t have been there in the first place.

The first step to solving any problem is to clearly and honestly define what the problem actually is. Liberals are incapable of this. Promoting specific minorities into schools they have not qualified for is a tragedy for the minority and for the qualified person they displaced. The first one will fail and the second cheated.

Asian and Indian Americans need to wake up from their new immigrant euphoria and realize that the democrats are coming for them. They are not the chosen minorities. They will be sacrificed in the name of “equality”. No amount of hard work can make up for admissions preferences based on race.

de Blasio and Cortez "can´t handle the TRUTH" AND need to pander to their minority base. This is the same old liberal insistence on equality of OUTCOME instead of equality of OPPORTUNITY. As with all competitions, when liberals (and their voting base) cannot compete on an equal opportunity basis, the liberals seek to change the rules. Thus we also have the demand for additional SCOTUS justices and for the abolition of the electoral college. They will never stop because their urge for control over us is an overwhelming obsession.

3..2..1 before the usual commie answer comes out: Lower the test taking scores, admission of minorities only (the dumber the better) and before you know it these so-called specialized schools are no long specialized in educational content. The new syllabus would be How to Become a Gang Banger; How to Protest by Burning Buildings; The Proper Way to Perform Bestiality, etc. And of course all teachers would only be hired if they´re dumber than dirt.

It´s not just Asian students "progressives" want to punish. They want to punish everyone. Mercilessly.

It helps to have mathematicians in the family. We don´t have to depend on the schools...... EVER!
Now, about AOC, she has all the symptoms of high order Williams Syndrome. In fact, she´s likely at the top rung, but she´s still on that ladder.
Fortunately for her she´s able to memorize large scripts full of nonsense and long words she can´t understand.
BTW, when they start cutting out the special (and still rare) programs for the gifted, they will get around to cutting out all the special programs. Then people like AOC will be left to sweep floors for life.

DeBlasio has already made harmful changes to the test (SHSAT) and even those did work to get more black and latin kids in. This is the race to the bottom that one always witnesses when egalitarianism meets tribalism.

Remember how "All lives matter" became a racist slogan? Same mentality at work here. #6 is right - Asian and Indian Americans need to wake up fast. A case against Harvard for discriminating against Asian applicants was being loudly protested as racist/imperialist - by Indian students!

Those darn Asians are ruining the racial discrimination narrative!
They came here as a different race - - different culture - - different color - - different language - - uneducated - - extremely poor - -
- - and through hard work and ambition they´ve become spectacularly successful.
This. Is. Not. Supposed. To. Happen. In. Racist. Amerikkka.

The democrat answer is always to lower standards. That tells the black and brown kids that it´s OK to avoid study and academic achievement. Just wait, and it will be given to you!

This kind of thing has been going on for a long time. In the mid seventies I wanted to be a fireman. There were a limited number of spots available and you had to pass an exam to make the first cut. When I went for the exam there were only white guys in the room and we all knew only those who got a 90% or better would pass. I got a 94% but was never called. I checked: The day before my test, the minorities had their test. Not only were they coached, but they needed only an 80% to pass. All the spots were filled by minorities that year.

These kids are smarter and far more dedicated to academic achievement on the day they enter Stuyvesant than AOC was on the day she graduated Boston U with an econ major.

I taught for 30 years in a prestigious private high school. The school adopted an ABC (A better chance) program to admit "unqualified" (I hate that word) students. But students who had not passed the entrance exam. I had a 9th grader say to me once, "I was smart in my old school." Sad.

AOC and Deblasio are two of the dumbest people on the planet. Acceptance in the high schools was based on TEST SCORES, not skin color. If Blacks want to go to these schools they will have to get higher marks on the tests, PERIOD.

The number one problem in low achieving, poverty area schools is the lack of two-parent families, period. The second is the apathy due to drug and alcohol addiction. The third is a lack of parenting skills that create an environment and a disciplined child.
The modern single mother birth statistics in all racial classifications and the absence of fathers is the highest predictor of student success in school. Forget what the education experts say about money, programs, technology, and teacher effectiveness. I have yet to meet a teacher who doesn´t want to do a great job of educating their students. I have met teachers who have been at war with the battling rhetoric of Ivory Tower know-it-alls, politicians who know they know it all, and the children who have not been properly raised due to modern sensibilities of the If It Feels Good, Do It generations.

The Asians and the Jews they will be hurt the most and yet the Jews in particular will continue to support these racists. Go figure. And the one thing that these two groups have in common? It is putting a value on learning above all else, it is demanding the best from their children with no excuses accepted. The old joke about my son the Dr. or my son the Lawyer may be stereotypical but it is not to be demeaned. The parents who value education have children who value it and not with money buying test results but with demanding real results from their children. I always told mine their job was to be good students.

Saw this discussed on Fox Ithink with Martha. One panelist was Juan and can’t recall the other. When told of Comrade Bill’s solution of doing away with entrance tests ol Juan just smiled and nodded. He doesn’t realize that degrades and insults blacks! It says, no shouts that blacks are too stupid to take and pass the tests. That is so insulting.

It’s not the white kids who are acing these admissions tests, but the Asians. When the other kids are out fooling around or playing at sports, the Asian kids are in the library, studying, or at special schools paid for by their parents. To them, education is all.
