Zohran Mamdani and city Democrat leaders stand accused of “racially engineering” New York City’s elite public high schools, according to a Brooklyn mom who last week brought a federal lawsuit against the mayor and the Department of Education. Yi Fang Chen, 45, is challenging the admissions process for the city’s nine Specialized High Schools (SHS) after her eldest son was denied admission to Stuyvesant High School, despite scoring in the top five percent on the admissions exam, which he took in November. Some 26,000 students take the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test each year, competing for around 5,000 places.
