Hi, my name is ______ and I am a NYC public school parent in your district. I am calling to ask that you OPPOSE Senate Bill S3087. The bill wants to return admissions of specialized high schools to New York City so that the mayor can abolish the SHSAT. The intention is to cut the number of Asian students at these schools. This is a divisive bill intended to harm Asian families.
As your constituent, I ask you to OPPOSE this bill. Don’t let the mayor ruin the specialized high schools. Thank you.
