紐約市長取消SHSAT對亞裔學生趕盡殺絕記者會

關於SHSAT:上個世紀70年代早期,因為當時學校白人學生比例高,促使大部分白人學生家長推動紐約州於1971年通過立法,確立特殊高中的唯一錄取標準就是特殊高中入學測試。廢除特殊高中入學考試可能會放大所謂“無意識偏見”的作用,相比客觀的考試,包括入學面試和綜合評價在內入學主觀型評價更容易受到偏見的影響,這種做法卻是在損害亞裔中低層級子女的機會。

針對日前紐約市市長白思豪取消SHSAT,6月6日(週三)紐約州教育委員會舉行投票表決。亞裔維權大聯盟將舉行示威活動,為了讓下一代有一個公平、公正的學習環境,希望大家自發踴躍出來參加反對市長的種族欺視的行為。

Activists slam de Blasio plan to end school admissions tests

Dozens of Asian-American activists on Monday blasted Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to eliminate the admission test to the city’s top high schools in a bid to increase diversity among students there.

“The mayor is pitting minority against minority and that’s really messed up,” fumed Kenneth Chiu, president of the New York City Asian-American Democratic Club.

The Coalition of Asian-Americans for Civil Rights gathered about 70 people at the Golden Imperial Palace catering hall in Brooklyn to denounce de Blasio’s proposal, which coalition president John Chan called “the last straw for us.”

“This policy causes chaos in the Asian-American community and we’re here to reject this policy,” Chan said.

“New York City has taken our money for several years and no one has provided help for us. They are taking advantage of us and we must stand together to object toward a better policy.”

Asian-Americans account for a disproportionate number of students at the city’s eight selective high schools, comprising between 61 and 74 percent at top-rated Stuyvesant, Brooklyn Tech and the Bronx High School of Science.

Chan said his group would rally against de Blasio outside City Hall on Tuesday afternoon.

Another protest is being planned for Sunday, he said, either outside City Hall or the mayor’s official Gracie Mansion residence.
