A stress test is common in engineering. It is done by applying a measured amount of force to the item in question to see if it is still able to meet specification............In the verbiage of the street, can they walk the walk that matches their talk? ...........As you can imagine, decent public schools in New York City are rare, and exceptional schools are the rarest of all. Not surprisingly, the best schools – public schools, that is – are almost always found in affluent neighborhoods, like the Upper West Side. That is the natural way of things. Entry into them is based on statewide test scores. But when the race warriors in the education bureaucracy looked, they were horrified. These high-performing schools are predominantly white.
This is 2018, and in progressive NYC, this can't be allowed to stand. Shades of Mississippi of 1960. So comes the Distinct 3 desegregation plan. This is a call to reserve 25% of the seats in the 16 high-performing schools of this Upper West Side district to students with low standardized test scores in math and English. It will be blacks slated for those 25% reserved seats. This isn't going over well with the wine and brie set. But to make matters worse for them, in order to make room for the low performers, about 25% of their kids will have to go to schools of, shall we say, color.
That's a game-changer ..........liberal hypocrites is "integration for thee, but not for me."
