[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Not a fair post. You're missing the point. PP didn't argue against a majority black school. They argued in favor of higher standards, tougher academics, stronger ecs and more diversity, e.g. Stuyvesant, Brooklyn Tech, Bronx Science etc. New Yorkers get it. [/quote] New York City has over ten times the population of DC. [/quote] NYC has 9 test-in magnet high schools, each of them majority Asian in a city where Asians aren't even 15% of the total population. Boston, with a population roughly the same size as DC's has supported two such high schools for more than a century, Boston Latin and Cambridge Rindge and Latin. Come on, the barrier isn't size of DC's population. It's the race and class politics of test-in high schools coupled with a lack of ambition. Thankfully, BASIS DC has shaken things up.[/quote]
