This is really all that needs to be said about this.

>Yiatin Chu, a public school parent and the co-founder of Parent Leaders for Accelerated Curriculum and Education, a group that has supported gifted and talented programs, said that the entrance exam was a “race-blind, income-blind test.”

Ms. Chu attended Bronx Science and her daughter will be a sophomore next school year at Stuyvesant. She said the exam was a fair measurement that should remain.

“These schools are rigorous and demanding, and students who go to these schools should be well-prepared to take that on,” Ms. Chu said. “Why are we minimizing the effort that is put in for something that is important to them?”
