The Ocean Hill Brownsville School Controversy

The controversy at Ocean Hills Brownsville School is a case study of racial relations in the 1960s. This dominant black area wants to be responsible for the administration and programs of the school. In 1967, the principal awarded Ocean Hill Brownsville "control of their community in the community". The Board of Education's action is part of a new decentralization policy that wishes to make New York City's political power locally annihilate. Once installed, the director Roddy McCoy will instigate several teachers to instigate the most serious racial conflict in the history of the city.

Another symbolic rupture in black-Jewish relations was a controversy over Brooklyn Ocean Hill - Brownsville School's 1968 bleaching. New York City proposes to distribute the school system to the community managed by the Community Committee. This will give parents a place inside the child's school and will keep the school responsible to them. Ocean Hill - Brownsville is one of the three regions that decided to decentralize, which is the majority of the African American community. Following the support of a white teacher led by Jewish member Sandra Feldman of the Teacher Association Union (UFT), parents have organized and supported the Decentralization Plan of Ocean Hill - Brownsville ("Regional Control"). From their point of view, this is a self-deterministic experiment, not just a change in the bureaucratic model.

Podell investigated the infamous Ocean Hills - Brownsville (School District of New York) in 1968 attacking the teacher. Podair argues that major Jewish teachers union (UFT) feels a different ethnicity from black students. The working class is united. But UFT members also believe that their expertise and white managers' expertise will provide the best way for racial equality. Before Black Power pointed out the systematic nature of discrimination, UFT's position was largely accepted. At the moment, Podair believes that the Black Ocean Hills - Brownsville community is inappropriate and unsatisfactory in UFT's position - their white "expert" control dominates inequality. As Podair showed, the painful strikes reorganized the politics of New York City as the Jewish UFT teacher has become completely middle class with "white" and begins to relocate the election's loyalty, race and We reform the concept of the class.
