OPINION: Continuing our work to create schools that reflect our diverse city
”My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.”
— Archbishop Desmond Tutu
In celebration of Black History Month, I want to highlight an important right that every child across every neighborhood in New York City deserves — the right to an equitable and excellent education. We must continue to invest in significant, necessary changes to ensure that no student, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or religious beliefs, is denied that right.
