Secret Apartheid II: Race, Regents, and Resources
The second report prepared by the ACORN New York Office about racism in public school access ![]()
parents, particularly parents of color, are consistently denied the information they need to make decisions about their children's education.
This report summarizes our recent investigation of what happens when students are consistently denied the quality and content of course work and instruction they need to compete successfully for a spot in one of the very few high schools that might prepare them for a quality university education. Our investigation forces us to conclude that the racial imbalance occurring at the Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and similar schools is the direct result of programmatic and geographic tracking that condemns them to failing, zoned high schools. |
