I can’t believe Colgate lasagna was a thing. That just couldn’t be more random.

In short, more prejudice.

The “freaks” should be allowed to do something else because conventional schooling doesn’t put them in a position to succeed.

Ok but what repairing plumbing, heating, elevators, and cleaning up trash and maybe just maybe providing trash receptacles for every single building?

When you lift caps on charters, your city’s school system becomes Philadelphia. Public schools become repositories for kids whose parents don’t care or don’t have the wherewithal to get them into charters (minus a couple of high performing magnet schools), and every parent who has the time and inclination to fill out an application sends their kid to a charter of decidedly middling quality. You get to break the union, you burn through every young teacher three years out of college, and your public school system is destroyed. And twenty thousand union members with a passable quality of life go looking for greener pastures. That’s what you’re looking for?

That last sentence basically sums it all up what’s gets me about this article I’d the person used I’d in the healthcare industry and they still qualify for a voucher. Most people working in healthcare are capable of managing money well enough to afford their own place. So something is up. Nyc needs to teach financial literacy in grade school if they ever want to get out of this mess

Imagine looking at a pile of dead kids every few and assuming the only reason people want to reform the system is because the shooter was white.
I’m personally not flexible enough to get my own head that far up my own ass. Maybe you could throw out a referral to your gym or yogi for those of us looking for a good stretch?

Right, but proving prejudice can be hard. You just need to give some other excuse

> none of those people would identify as black
Is people’s race determined solely based on what they identify as.?

It's also illegal under City & State law to discriminate based on source of income. It's easy to see how one major lawsuit or Human Rights Commission proceeding will cost you a whole lot more than just not discriminating against poor people and accepting the vouchers.

I don’t think charter schools should exist. They’re fundamentally different from all other individuals and companies you’ve mentioned. Want to start a school? Great. Go use your own money.

No just based on track record really. If people don't pay rent and destroy apartments, you don't want to rent to them in the future.
If you had a nice belonging that's worth a lot to you, you wouldn't go lending it out to just anyone, you would make sure you only gave it to someone you know has proven to you that they have the ability to take care of it.
If it were much faster/easier to evict tenants that don't pay, landlords will probably be more open to vouchers, but right now it's just a nightmare.

Goes beyond that. I have a section 8 tenant snd I’ve been trying to get section 8 to recognize and record the signed legal lease amount for 3 year 6 years everyone said something different no one can get it done attorneys I’ve spoken with Day the courts can’t do anything about it. So we have to fit here snd eat the loss because they govt can’t get it straight. Aldo everyone that works there is a different form of incompetence they as ll need to be retrained. Mind you this voucher holder doesn’t even live in the apartment and the daughters baby daddy lives there illegally. Often when dealing with couches landlords hands are tied so why bother deal with it when someone qualified comes along looking to rent. There’s no reason to.

So you don't think teachers should profit off their labor? Textbook Publishers? Janitorial Supply companies shouldn't make a profit off what they sell to the school?
edit: NYC spends about 30K per student. Archbishop Molloy charges 11K per year tuition.

It goes deeper then that. I listed an apart last month for three days got 40 inquiries and 10 vouchers. They’re not only competing amongst themselves but also the working class with steady income.
On top of that I was informed by another realtor that while you accept a section 8 voucher it can take three months to process the paperwork. In that three months you can easily get someone else in there’s. And not have to eat the loss. On top of that it’s almost impossible to get a voucher holder out of an apartment.

Non profit doesn’t mean it’s ownership and board don’t make money and can’t have incentives.
Lots of non profits are awful Susan G Komen being a classic example.
US law is pretty lax on non profit status.

Yes. That is my point. You cannot automatically assume the person is black based solely on the description "darker complexion."

I’m not phrasing it as a matter of opinion, these people would be objectively categorized as Hispanic or Latino.
