The public school system in nyc is 70% minority. Even if you do all that, it wouldn’t make a difference. We don’t do zoned schools anymore, it’s open lottery

If its 70% non-white, wouldn't white kids be a minority too?

Whites are the minority in public school. And as we seen with the new lottery if you try to make them commute an hour to a bad school in queens because thats where they were placed randomly, they just enroll them in private school. Many white families with means end up moving to the suburbs. One thing even the most stark progressive won’t compromise on their childrens education if they can afford not to.
