PHOTO BY GINO FANELLI Mayor Lovely Warren introduced her 2021-22 budget on Friday, May 14. Mayor Lovely Warren on Friday unveiled a budget plan for the upcoming fiscal year that she called historic and would cut funding for the Rochester Police Department, expand the city s crisis intervention services, and provide the new Police Accountability Board with the full $5 million it had requested. The $561 million budget proposal, which the mayor presented to members of the media in City Council chambers, represents a 5.2-percent increase over last year s spending plan. Despite the jump, the average homeowner is expected to pay $36 a year less in property taxes, a decrease that would be offset by a $205 rise in taxes for businesses, according to the budget.

The UK government’s recent report on race, drawn up by the Commission on Ethnic and Racial Disparities, has been roundly criticised for its findings. Its primary claim, as chair Tony Sewell writes in the foreword, that the British system is no longer “deliberately rigged against ethnic minorities” has drawn particular ire.
With regards to education, specifically, the report argues that “if there is racial bias within schools or the teaching profession, it has limited effect”. Sewell’s credentials as an education consultant appear to give special credence to that position. The problem is that it flies in the face of four decades’ worth of research.
