"Probably 90% of the graduates from '71, by the time we graduated college, were committed to some kind of social change.

“Being at Bronx Science, we were afforded privileges that most other high school kids don’t have. We’re not being body scanned all the time, we’re not being suspended, we don’t have a school to prison pipeline. Simultaneously, though, how does it reflect our school if a kid is struggling and instea…
