We applaud some of @NYCSchools' system-wide changes to exclusionary screening, but this is just one small step toward creating a truly just education system. https://bit.ly/3myZya6
There’s so much work to be done and we want to echo and amplify the voices of our fellow advocates in stressing what real, antiracist integration looks like. A great place to start is with @integratenyc 's framework for integration called The 5 R’s: https://integratenyc.org/mission
Another great resource for recommendations is the SDAG! You can find the report here: https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/metrocenter/school-diversity-advisory-group
But @nycmayor, this is not “the beginning” as you said today. You’ve sat on these recommendations for over a year. We really wish it hadn’t taken a global pandemic for you to take action. And we really wish the action taken was more equitable.
Will you join us in calling on @NYCSchools @NYCMayor to #UnscreenOurSchools and #IntegrateNOW @JimmyVanBramer @jessicaramos @Dromm25 @ZohranKMamdani @tiffany_caban @Costa4NY @SenGianaris @evie4us
