A panel of experts, students and alumni of New York City’s Specialized High Schools presenting on the topic of preserving the great traditions of our Specialized High Schools and the Specialized High School Achievement Test (SHSAT) which the progressive left wants to abolish, in their misguided agenda to substitute racial quotas for merit, which unfairly discriminates against students of high achievement whatever their race.

David Lee: Cofounder of CoalitionEdu, an advocacy group that supports preserving the finest traditions of the specialized high schools of NYC.
