NYC Mayor de Blasio Wants To Scrap High School Admission Tests Due To Unfairness Of Some Poor Minority Groups

I listened to part of a video today by Michelle Malkin, where there is an entrance test available for students who want to get into eight elite high schools, and the American Asian students are acing this test!

But Bill deBlasio is not happy.

Since the video by Michelle Malkin can only be found on Facebook at this time, I found another article on this same subject.

Basically, Bill de Blasio has been made aware of these tests, and now that the American Asians are acing the test, de Blasio thinks that is unfair. He wants to now, do away with these tests. These admission tests are given to the poor so they can have a chance at entering these eight elite high schools in New York.

Are the American Asians a minority group? Yes, and they should have the same opportunities as other minority groups are given.

As Soo Kim, president of the Stuyvesant association would say, "de Blasio would unfairly disenfranchise many poor Asian kids, who account for a disproportionate number of the city’s top students." Soo Kim continues, "We are absolutely on the side of equity. But we don’t believe that the solution is taking from one needy community and giving to another needy community.“

So, is it unfair, if the test is offered to many minority groups, and certain ones actually ace it and get into these high schools?

So, you have some poor minority groups in New York, and one of those minority groups who do not come from wealthy families, are doing exceedingly higher on their scores than the other poor minority groups, and de Blasio thinks this is unfair. To him, it is unfair to the Latinos and the blacks.

He thinks it is unfair to the Latinos and Blacks because they didn't score as well as the American Asians did in these admission tests.  

So, in an absurd world where everything has to be exactly even for everyone, the only answer a mayor can come up with, is to 'scrap' the test. Instead of helping others to achieve their goals, let's just lower the standard so everyone can get in. 

Didn't this happen with reading skills in our public school systems already? Students who can't read at a young age, while in elementary schools, are just passed on. They fumble into high school, and just give up because it is too hard. Could this be the reason for the high drop out rate in high schools in America today?

Here's how we can pray:

*Pray for integrity to be brought back into our school systems.

*Pray for God-fearing school board members to be elected into office

*Pray for Godly teachers and principals to be raised up in our schools systems.

*Pray for those who work hard to be rewarded.

*Pray for those who have learning difficulties to find help.

*Pray for protection for our schools and colleges from would be shooters who would come into the schools to kill students and teachers.

*Pray for the standard of right and wrong, good and evil, light and darkness, and, truth and error to be raised up high again.
