Progressives aim to destroy NYC’s top high schools in the name of ‘equity’
Opinion by Post Editorial Board • 17h
Mayor Adams and schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos sound confident that the city Panel for Education Policy will OK the contract for an admissions test for Gotham’s elite public high schools when it meets Wednesday night, but that will only be one small setback for the progressive war on these schools.
This threat is serious: “Equity” and anti-testing activists have pushed to kill the contract for the Specialized High School Admission Test even though state law mandates it as the main means of admission to Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech and Stuyvesant and five other top schools also rely on it.
That’s left 30,000 anxious families fearful that their kids will wind up in educational limbo if the PEP KOs the new five-year, $17 million contract with education company Pearson.
To no one’s benefit: This wouldn’t make admissions “more fair,” but only rob everyone of opportunity.
