Rezoning
[edit]The following from the section on rezoning the school needs to be looked up: In a flier prepared by students at Tilden HS, students outlined their position regarding the rezoning: “We have no ethnic balance of 37% black and Puerto Rican and 63% others (majority whites). The addition of these option students, without an equally proportionate number of whites could lead to a shifting of this balance. If it shifts too much, an unfortunate chain of events takes place: white families flee the neighborhood, which is no integrated. Result: another segregated school, another segregated neighborhood.”[17].
The quotation is choppy (that could be the original wording), and the meaning is not perfectly clear. I think a paraphrase based on the original Belmonte article would make the the students' point of view clearer. I inferred that the quote comes from white Tilden students. I think the race of the students should be documented given the era.
The paragraph needs greater clarity. I tried to get the original Belmonte article from Lexis-Nexis but the version of the database to which I have access goes back until 1980. I hope the original Wikipedeans who entered the paragraph still have access to the Belmonte article.Iss246 (talk) 14:34, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
