“The whole city should be just as outraged as Melissa Mejia, the William Cullen Bryant HS “grad” who revealed in Sunday’s Post that she’d been awarded a fraudulent diploma.

““For most of the 150-year-history of public education in the U.S., public schools have done a pretty good job. There is no crisis in public education.”
—Salvatore Babones in Salon, May 9, 2015 (emphasis added)
If I were to base my opinion of the American public school system solely on my experience in an overwhelmingly white community of highly educated and affluent families, I could accept Babones’ assertion that “There is no crisis in public education.” But I can’t do that.”
