Bookmarked Teachers, Lawmakers Call For Change To Admissions To NYC’s Most Elite Public Schools (newyork.cbslocal.com)

United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew said Monday that the current system is unfair to minority students who deserve to attend Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech and five other specialized high schools.

I went to Bronx Science. I recall a good amount of diversity. But, I agree an SAT like test is not necessarily the best way to admit people to a school. Wonder if I’d have gotten in if that were the only factor.
