[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PLACE are as I understand it the ones responsible for the fanatically anti-LGBT District 2 CEC - and are basically in general the NYC equivalent of Moms for Liberty - so I make a point of voting for whoever they do not endorse. (and indeed just did so on my CEC ballot)

From what I hear, things are *extremely* unpleasant at Stuy at the moment - everybody's stressed and miserable and works too hard and has to cheat just to survive - so while I don't think that "la la no more tests" is the answer, being willing to at least raise the question of whether to add other factors along with the SHSAT is maybe worth considering; even something as simple as adding an essay component like Hunter does might help.[/quote]

PLACE is not fanatically anti-LGBT. There is one CEC2 member who is stuck on getting biological boys out of girls' sports, a position that is also shared by many feminists on the left fwiw. They are NOT the NYC equivalent of Moms for Liberty. That's just far left propaganda talking and a lot of sour grapes from the crazy progressive ed parents who used to dominate CEC2 who were insanely antagonistic towards G&T/SHS families. There is a lot of turnover in the schools so people without much back knowledge have this impression that PLACE "took over". That's not exactly how it went. If those crazy progressive ed CEC2 Moms who are against G&T/SHS programs had been a little bit more civil, it wouldn't have been this bad, but as I mentioned above there was non-stop virtue signaling and shaming from them, especially the Japanese-born one and the native NYer who had the zoom episode that went viral, among others. After a while, parents just had enough. No one likes being told that they are a bad person for wanting their children challenged in school, especially a public school. It was these crazy progressive ed CEC2 Moms who fueled the ascent of PLACE. That and de Blasio.

Regarding adding a test, who is going to read them? What is to say a kid can't be coached on that?
