Last week a student at the controversial Urban Dove Charter School in Flatbush, Brooklyn, was fatally shot as he left the school building. The incident is a reminder that the opposition to the school mounted by the Flatbush Jewish community two and a half years ago on the ground that a distinctly Jewish neighborhood was not an appropriate site for a school for troubled minority students was not racist but was rather a practical assessment of the probability of what was in store for the neighborhood.
Sadly, it took the death of 17-year-old African American student Devonte Lewish to underscore the legitimacy of the point. According to news reports, two suspects were seen running from the scene. No arrests have been made yet.
