"...It [The SHSAT] has provided opportunity for thousands of children without asking who their parents are, what race they are, or who they know ... We believe that every child in our great city should be challenged to their ability. We believe every child should be lifted up and no child should be pushed down. Sadly, these programs are under attack, and we call on all parents to join us to fight to keep and restore these necessary opportunities."
This quote is from an op-ed I wrote with Phil Wong for QNS this week. We believe that the fight for SHSAT and G&T is about more than just school entrance exams but instead about striving for excellence in public school education.
Bringing attention to the issue is something I've been involved with since early 2018. You can see a timeline of just a few notable efforts below. But it illustrates my commitment to the children of both our community and New York City.
