昨天晚上CAPE才接到消息，到了半夜那边还在整理提供给大家的材料。所以消息没能更
早的发出来。
请先去阻止提案送交参议院。给我们争取一点时间研究再向大家汇报问题的关键在哪里。
紧急动员全美各地人士于今天（6月11日）上午11点（EDT)之前通过Email和电话反对纽
约州参院 S7738 议案，并至少通知两位您的朋友采取行动。这个议案被视为纽约市立
特点高中（Specialized High Schools）的SCA5。目前最紧急的是州参院Rules
Committee有可能今天11:30就决定直接将议案送州参院投票，故刻不容缓。下面的帖里
有简介、州参院两位领袖的电话和Email，打电话的talking pointns，及Email全文（
也可自撰）。Sorry about the short notice。但总算还不是“马后炮”，不能像加州
参院通过SCA5的时候说没听见有反对声音啊，是吧？
材料由＂美东公共事物＂wechat提供.
Campaign Against New York State Senate S7738
0) Introduction
The Specialized High Schools of New York City have noticeably been the
select and highly competitive public schools. At this point, there is a
clear underrepresentation of certain minorities students. Because of this
worsening underrepresentation and the single test admissions standard
adopted since the early 70's by the schools in question, some New York State
legislators, other politicians and certain education groups are trying to
remedy this perceived imbalance or lack of diversity, by pushing through
legislation addressing the issue.
Asian American communities, among others, are concerned about the approach
or methods these legislations have adopted or new bias they may fester, and
they are especially concerned about the ways these bills are being rushed
through the legislature. As you are reading this news now, New York Senate
is deliberating if it will put S7738 for a whole senate vote. We studied the
bill and we do not quite like what we saw. We are concerned about its
intended or unintended consequences for our children and for the future of
these fine institutions.
We are now campaigning to stop the bill. Going forward, we will work closely
with educators, legislators and the affected communities to come up with
thoughtful, balanced and fair solutions to address the disparities, as
should be a responsible and compassionate member of the diverse New York
communities. Please join our campaign. Thank you!

2) Talking points for opposing S7738
a. Asian American communities are not or insufficiently informed or
consulted of this pending legislation (S7738); we are in the total dark and
did not have a chance to participate in the process AT ALL;
b. For such an significant, high-impact bill, there is NO sufficient public
outreach and public hearing;
c. The bill is full of uncertainty or black hole, when it leaves the
legislative details to New York City authorities.
We urge you not to send this rushed bill for a floor vote.
3) Letter to New York State Senators
Dear New York State Senators,
We are surprised and concerned to hear that S7738 is being rushed through
the state Senate in the closing days of this legislative session.
Little is known about this pending bill which is going to significantly and
perhaps negatively impact and affect our Asian American communities. For a
Senate bill of this import and impact, there is, alarmingly, no public
hearing nor serious outreach to the affected communities. Our communities
are thus not consulted nor had a chance to participate. As stakeholders for
the consequences of this proposed bill, we, with grave concern, request that
you refrain from a vote on the bill on the Senate floor, before you have a
chance to hear from the affected communities and allow the shareholding
communities the full participation in this democratic process.
For the future legislative sessions, we promise and pledge to work closely
with the state Senate to find a new consensus and achieve an equitable and
fair admissions procedures for New York City Specialized High Schools.
Sincerely yours, | b**********5
