I'm just telling you what the police bulletins to the press and public say.
OP said they wouldn't use "light complexion" but they absolutely do.
The person caught in the tire slashing incident was white though.

Asking honestly, why do people like Byford? I don’t really know much about his accomplishments. Seemed like he had good ideas, but he wasn’t around long enough to do much with them.

Wasn’t there a non profit Internet company providing this but he killed the contract to give it to Verizon? I remember reading about a non profit organization that already provided this service and Adams kicked them out for no valid reason.

What a joke. In a couple of years we'll be reading about how they lied and never delivered. But he'll get some fat donations and make connections so it's all good for him!
We're never going to get off this hamster wheel.

I didn’t draw the line. That’s legally defined as housing discrimination.

No, that’s exactly what a straw man is. You’re arguing against a false opponent that you e created, not my actual argument.
You’re all over this thread arguing for charters charging the public rent on buildings bought with public funds intended to educate children. This is so obviously a money grab by organizations less and less accountable to those parents you claim to represent. Stop it.
I’m done here.

Non profit inherently means there are no shareholders and therefore no “ownership,” meaning any additional endowment left over is not split amongst the “ownership” in the form of profit as you suggested earlier.
The salaries its board makes are considered “administrative costs” just like the administrative costs needed to cover the salaries of public school boards, and as a result of their non-profit status are public and auditable.

For those concerned about this dude's dark complexion, what change are you wanting? To prevent these crimes? To punish the criminal? To punish black people? What's the goal?

What? If there are no shareholders then nobody gets to keep the profits. Eventually it has to be reinvested, why would a company “hold it” and do absolutely nothing with it?

Yeah, on a $4 billion endowment. The vast, vast majority of the endowment goes towards its educational goals

Yes, that’s literally the point of credit scores.
Prejudice takes a lot of forms. Most of them are both legal and societally accepted. Whether and how much it should be is debatable, but what’s not debatable is that “voucher tenants are going to destroy the place and refuse to leave” is a prejudicial statement (and if acted upon is illegal housing discrimination).

That's not what a straw man is. You just aren't willing to accept the decisions Parents of Color make for what they believe is the best interest of their children's education.
Black and Hispanic parents want classes where their children are place with students with the same academic level. Black and Hispanic parents want disruptive and dangerous students kicked out of their children's class. Black and Hispanic parents want the school to be able to fire underperforming teachers.
You want them to sacrifice their children to your ideal of a public school regardless if those ideals help Black and Hispanic Children.

LOLOLOLOLOL are you serious?
New York State hospitals by law are non profits. NY Presbyterian has a $6 billion endowment.
Non profit doesn't mean "can't earn profit" it means it doesn't have shareholders. The company itself can hold as much as it wants.

Before Migrants it was homeless, and before homeless it was covid quartines, and before covid quartines it was covid relief workers who were being paid big $$$. It's pretty clear this is welfare for hotel under the guise of humanitarian aid. Before covid AirBnB was eating their lunch and then it was covid. I just hope this welfare was thought out and the most cost effective means of housing these people.

The director makes millions on the backs of underserved children. Success academy is nothing but profiteers. Disgusting

I believe public schools charge charters rent to use their space as well so this may not be as ridiculous as it sounds.
I would have to see the details—is Success Academy paying from their budget to renovate the buildings and turn them into schools? That would seem fair then.
