"how could anyone support communism..." yet it happened. In many countries (including mine), the communist were the minority, but they won by sheer force of being the loudest/most extreme group in the field.... and some USSR backing. In this case you have a group that is loud enough, to demand changes, which will probably/might help some on the segregation side, but sink all smart students that actually want to learn more than the lower common denominator... The article mentions that currently 75% of the students in NY public schools are from minority groups, and a large portion of white and asian students have already left the system altogether... this is akin in third world countries, where people vote with their feet and flee their countries to escape the corruption and bad conditions and become immigrants somewhere else.... The NY public system is like the Venezuela of education....
