De Blasio’s school-desegregation push won’t remotely solve the real problem
“For that matter, is desegregation even likely to achieve the real goal, which is to provide a decent education to lower-income kids, especially the black and Latino ones whom the ‘diversity’ drive is supposed to help? The desegregation push is now focused on middle schools, with District 3 on the Upper West Side leading the way, followed by District 15 in Park Slope, Red Hook and Sunset Park in Brooklyn. The idea is that setting socioeconomic quotas for middle-school admission will bring more black and Hispanic children into the higher-performing schools, equalizing opportunity.”
