Councilman David Oh Surprised To Learn About Magnet School Admissions, Wants Answers - a podcast by Radio.com

Councilman David Oh returns to the Dom Giordano Program to discuss a Facebook post he made late last week about a new push to implement a lottery into the selection process for magnet school admissions. Last week, without any input from the city government, the Philadelphia School District announced changes that will affect tens of thousands of Philadelphians, all in the name of equity. The new admission selection process, rather than basing on merit, would favor students from historically underrepresented zip codes. Councilman Oh explains why he takes umbrage with the out-of-the-blue announcement, and tells what can be done to push back to such a radical change.
