Richard Carranza is done ruining city schools

Patch 

The leader of New York City's school system will step down amid the coronavirus pandemic and ongoing struggles to achieve equity in classrooms.

Chancellor Richard Carranza announced his resignation Friday after three years. He sat alongside Mayor Bill de Blasio and ticked off accomplishments in dismantling structures and policies of entrenched racism in the school system.

"I'm proud of what we've accomplished over the last three years," Carranza said.

Carranza cited the need to grieve many close to him who died during the coronavirus pandemic as his reason to leave.

"Make no mistake - I am a New Yorker, not by birth but by choice," he said, becoming visibly emotional. "A New Yorker who has lost 11 family members and close childhood friends to this pandemic. A New Yorker who needs to take time to grieve."

Meisha Ross Porter, a Bronx native who now leads its schools, will succeed Carranza. She will be the first Black woman to lead the city's school system — the largest in the country.

"An African American woman will take the helm of the nation's greatest public school system," de Blasio said.

Porter has a long career within the city's schools. She said she'll never forget her own experience in classrooms and as a principal.

"I'm ready to hit the ground running and leave New York City schools to full recovery," she said.

The New York Times first reported Carranza's resignation and highlighted growing tensions between him and de Blasio over integrating schools.

Carranza and de Blasio during their appearance together lavished warm praise on each other. But when asked point blank about reported differences over selective admissions programs and gifted and talented, Carranza largely sidestepped the question.

Instead, Carranza highlighted de Blasio's broad commitment to achieving equity in schools starting with the mayor's push for universal 3-K and pre-K.

Parents. You want to educate your kids? Send your kids to Catholic schools.

The city schools are segregated because the neighborhoods are segregated. People tend to live near people like them. Most areas are dominated by one or two ethnic groups.

Now maybe we can get back to educating the kids instead of imposing a woke agenda on the education bureaucracy

Yeah hiring someone solely based on their race or sex isn't exactly the smartest thing to do. Getting a job solely based on your race regardless of what race you are, IS racist. When will the dumbocrats learn this?

They should have thrown LaRaza Carranza out on his fat rear end years ago. He was not interested in making sure the kids of NYC got any sort of education except in radicalism, teaching them everything was "racist" as an excuse for their non-achievement, and persecuting people of ethnicities other than Hispanic or black. Now they have a female version of him waiting in the wings to replace him, someone very likely even worse with the "everything is racist" garbage and harassing people of groups other than black or Hispanic. I think NYC has gone too far down the garbage chute to attract someone with a brain instead of an attitude to be schools chancellor, especially when you have an ambulatory turd as mayor--who was voted in TWICE by the imbecile NYC voters. They get what they deserve, damning yet another generation of kids to be excuse-offering illiterates. Want your kid to have a good education? Home school them or send them to a parochial school. Keep the government's dirty indoctrinating hands off them.

Teacher's unions have one job: to protect teachers and take as much money as possible from the local tax$laves. Most Teachers in the public schools believe in the 1619 project.

You should look into Thomas Sowell who documented that in 1940's when NYC public schools gave good education, white and black kids had virtually identical scores ! What happen ?

@moe

The owners decided education is no good, they need consumers. Then socialism kicked in via the indoctrination and re-education centers known as schools, universities and colleges.

NYC Teachers have introduced Wokeness to make the our kids racists.
And Then They Came for Math ! The dumbing down of America continues at full speed with help from COVID-19 !
Cultural Marxism at its most vicious in full display in all Dem Cities.
Terms like: Equality = making everyone equally bad.
In a couple more years schools will only teach finger painting and the advanced classes will get to use glitter.
Funny how the WOKE Left Fascists don't remember the 3 Black Female Mathematicians who helped NASA to put men on the Moon.
