Class Of ’17

There’s grist for every ideological mill in this item, which came over the transom from a reader this morning. It lists the admissions this year, by race, to New York’s premier public high school, Stuyvesant.

Admission to Stuy is a pure meritocracy; do well enough on the entrance exam, and you’re in. Here are the numbers:

””Stuyvesant offered admission to 9 black students; 24 Latino students; 177 white students; and 620 students who identify as Asian.

Make of them what you will.
