Not sure why others haven't mentioned but the race baiting and intolerant Ulysees O. Wingo Sr. made some pretty interesting comments...

"If parents feel a Catholic education is right for them, by all means go to your Catholic schools and have fun saying your Catholic prayers," he said during the debate that followed.
"I take exception to the idea that affluent parents who send their children to Catholic schools should have a right, based off of the fact they are Catholic, that they should have exclusive rights to City Honors," he said during the debate, later adding: "I support City Honors . . . What I don't support is a lack of diversity. We have Buffalo public school students who are equally qualified . . . "



This is of course over the BPS deciding to lower the standards to get into City Honors to allow for a more realistic representation of just what BPS schools should look like. Or, another way to put it...regardless of how good of a student they are there needs to be more blacks in the school because most of the city is black. They used to have 7 factors to determine admission. They have already removed several like an essay on why you should go there. It's only a matter of time before black kids don't have to do anything other than check a box on their skin color to get in.

The best part for me in all of this is going to watch City Honors crumble. Gone from the conversation on just how bad BPS is will be 'but, but...we have CityHonors and the suburbs don't even have that' or teachers who underperform in less performant schools hanging their teacher contract on the performance of a tiny selection of BPS students.


I give it 6-8 years before this top 100 national school is not even ranked in the region.
