Yet New York schools Chancellor, Cathie Black said her comment regarding school overcrowding was just a joke.
Black said: “birth control would solve the problem” and made the remark last week at a task force meeting on school overcrowding.
Upon hearing estimates that lower Manhattan would need an additional 1,000 elementary school seats by 2015, she said “birth control would really help us.”
Cathie Black is already disliked amongst some of her constituents, city activist and parents., being a former executive at Hearst Magazines and USA Today; many felt she was more than unqualified for the job as New York’s school chancellor.
Black was appointed to the position by New York Mayor Bloomberg and Bloomberg came to her defense following a Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast yesterday. He said, “she has apologized and “won’t make the same mistake again.”
Her spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz says, “she takes the problem of school overcrowding seriously and regrets her “offhanded joke” left a different impression.”
Was the School Chancellor ‘out of place with her remark?’ I’d like to hear your thoughts on the matter?

Joke or not, the basic reality is there ARE a lot of people out there who don’t seem to know when to quit having kids.

Even with birth control the spread of sexually transmitted disease will still apply so “birth control” is merely a band-aid.
Parents need to step up and get involved, then people wouldn’t have to get together and continually put their foot in mouth while trying to fix others problems.

You have a valid point @Angelhair, it doesn’t have to be political, its a matter of common sense. Having lots of kids when you are poor just continues the vicious cycle.

It was reported recently that 60% of African American babies are now being aborted in NYC.
And suggestions with a billboards in Albany that supports homosexual black males are a wonderful thing and the end result is less African Americans in the nation.
While most African Americans consider the homosexual lifestyle to be an abomination the billboard campaign is an attempt to gain more acceptance in that community for this self destructive lifestyle.
Black people are a means to a white socialist utopian society, whereby black people are forever a minority. This is apparently the view of the new york schools chancellor.

The lady is telling the truth – too many children born out of wedlock to people who cannot support them and rely on the public hospitals to birth them, the public schools to educate them, the public food stamps to feed them, Medicaid to care for them, and, ultimately, the public correction system to house them. I work as a volunteer with children in Atlanta and the situation is mind boggling – and a real burden for this country.
