[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of the worst stories I've ever read. Thank goodness this predator was intercepted. The Post has picked up the story with a few more details and promises from the charter board and the deputy mayor for education to investigate.

Kudos to the mom of these boys for pushing forward and testifying in front of the Charter Board.  Just assuming that she's low-income and African American, she may not have had access to the social networks and media attention that others of us have.  [/quote]

ITA. If two non-black kids in a different part of town had been walked out of school by a predator we all would have known it. The community around those kids would have lit up sites like this one and it would have gotten immediate attention. Thankfully the mom chose a forum where it got attention of a reporter. Interestingly enough, later in the same meeting when the PCSB approved Rocketship's expansion, they asked no substantial questions about the incident. You'd think after LAMB, they would have at least tried to look like the cared and were concerned. [/quote]
