Performing Arts School Can’t Hold Auditions Anymore Because of Diversity Plan
21st September 2018
New Voices School of Academic and Creative Arts in New York City can no longer hold auditions to determine who can attend the school due to a diversity plan passed by Mayor Bill de Blasio Thursday.
Acceptance into the school will be based on a lottery system, the New York Post reported Friday. Half the spots will be set aside for low-income, English learners and homeless students.
The bill aims to increase diversity in Brooklyn’s 15th district by forcing schools to forego academic criteria like auditions, test scores and grades. The bill affects 11 middle schools, the Post reported Thursday.
Apparently requiring actual talent is something-ism.

Can’t wait until the new version of “Fame”…. it will be called “Existing”
