Different Diplomas for Latinos in NYC?

news.jpg Yesterday’s NYC Council meeting got heated with accusations that there is a two tiered education system in place. The accusation stems from statistics revealing that one in 10 African-American and Hispanic students earn the harder to get Regents high school diploma, with most of those students earning what has been called a “watered down” local diploma.

While some may fall back on the all too easy response that maybe those students are not made for the test based Regents diploma, many high school students of color are tracked in non-Regents classes with parents not even knowing.
