As a father of 4 kids and grandfather of three who all attended New York colleges (some non-public, some public), I see one easy reality all dad and mom should perceive: They are finally liable for their baby’s schooling, not the college or the kid.
If the college is unhealthy and your baby is doing poorly, then tutoring, altering colleges and different choices are all accessible. Blaming colleges, lecturers, directors or society is simply buck-passing BS. More important, it fails to help the kid.

Hannah-Jones clearly suffers from an case of Racist Derangement Syndrome. She blames racism for the poor high quality of schooling her daughter acquired at a Brooklyn public college. But the New York Times author ignores the Department of Education’s incompetent management as the actual trigger of public colleges’ pathetic efficiency.
She sacrificed her daughter’s schooling on the altar of DEI — which actually stands for discrimination, exclusion, intimidation.

The Issue: Instances of males exiting NYC manholes, together with two Venezuelans who have been arrested.
