"Former PS 20 Principal Sean Keaton was replaced by Lena Barbera (right), who will be interim chief of the Clinton Hill school. She had been assistant principal at PS 261 in Boerum Hill."

As ultimately planned. Hook, line and sink. Ed-trification.

As a former PS 261 parent I am no fan of Lena Barbera but I am curious as to what the What means. Lena is 1/2 Italian (I think) and 1/2 black.

"I am curious as to what the What means. "

The subjugation of New York City! There is a massive attack to drive out Minority/Working class people from this city. Our neighborhoods are under attack covertly (Blogs like Brownstoner) and Overtly (Bloomberg using Tax dollars to send "families" out of New York City). I could care less what race any one is because that person supports your "agenda" (i.e. Montrose Morris) and is unaware of the real picture.

New York city was/is a fine place but when the retards arrived now this is wrong and that is wrong. The naive New Yorker had sit and watch whole neighborhood be destroyed because "Josh, Megan and Jon" wanted to have a Hipster's wet dream.

Oh believe me, Lena does not support any "hipster/yuppie" agenda and since I had dealings with her for too many years than I care to count I know what I am talking about. She comes from a solidly working class background and is very old school. She loves rules and discipline. She will operate a tight ship and sometimes it will be a little too tight.

I would like to see some real stats to back up your argument What. Although I do think pols like BLoomberg would rather see poor/working class out of sight, I also think that recent population increase in past decade has been chiefly result of influx of foreign born (hispanic, asian, etc) minorities. And decades before that when population was declining was the result of middle working class fleeing for suburbs and other areas of country.
Certainly, major media focus of NYTimes, New York magazine et al is all on yuppie lifestyles and definitely some neighborhoods have become trendy for them...vast vast majority of NYC is not like that in the least.
All the attention maybe on formerly undesirable lower manhattan and brownstone brooklyn...but that is a fraction of NYC.

Have a great vacation, What. Don't let any stray agendas sneak up on you and bite you. I'll be fine, thanks for your concern.
