    NEWS: Today, seven black students got into Stuyvesant High School, one of the most prestigious public schools in the nation, out of 895 offers. The grim statistics will raise pressure on NY's politicians to confront segregation in elite schools. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/18/nyregion/black-students-nyc-high-schools.html …

        How many Democratic candidates running for president will stand up and condemn this blatant racism against African-Americans. Most of them should be Outrage.

        This is a non-issue, Black kids have to compete. Good job for the 7 kids, they got there on their own merit. They are other schools for those who didn't make it. The school should not lower its standard because we can't compete. No one says anything about the NBA or the NFL

        Brown & black kids in NYC specialized public schools do not reach 10%. In addition to segregation, the city is subsidizing the education of rich kids. Most kids in specialized schools attended private expensive K-8th grade schools. Public ed black & brown kids stand no chance.

        School is 74% Asian American. Doesn’t seem like a white privilege issue in this case

        If you really want to start trouble, ask how many kids that got in really don't have NYC residency...

        What's outrageous is the underfunding of any public school. Every public school should have the resources of the best school. No child should have to "apply" to go to a K-12 school.

        So another way to put it, fewer than 1 in 100, or less than 1 percent.

        Added... I was in one of these types of schools (Engineering) where I had to make at least 90/100 on several tests of science, math and English... My lowest score was a 92... The problem may be before they get to highschool. Is it the school's fault teens can't pass the tests? 🤷🏾‍♂️
