You forgot the No Single Pleated Khakis Dress Code.
You know, Andrew Sullivan now lives in New York... that would be fun.

On Will Drones Be Banned In This Rich Desert Suburb?
The defense contractor in the article was concerned about his privacy, not the noise of the drone. Is USA Today really beyond your level of reading comprehension?
Also, Rosa Parks was not just "tired" when she refused to give up her seat, she was an experienced civil rights activist who was engaging in planned civil disobedience.

On The NYC Public High School with Nine Black Students
@RonMwangaguhung The City has the DREAM Program that provides test prep courses for the Selective High Schools. I think it is well advertised to gifted students.

Fair enough, but you can't wear your 2005 Camry to Le Bain. Now, can you?

On The NYC Public High School with Nine Black Students
This is not a fair criticism of Bloomberg. If anything Stuyvesant High School is less white today then it was when Bloomberg took office. The school's student body is around 75% non-white which is certainly more "non-white" than the staff of The Awl.
Mayor Lindsey tried to implement affirmative action at the Selective High Schools back in the Sixties, but there was tremendous backlash from parents. At that time, Stuyvesant was disproportionally Jewish and Jews were concerned about government imposed quotas limiting their enrollment. In response, Albany passed a law that bars affirmative action in admissions and limits school admissions to solely academic testing. The Mayor is trumped by State Law on this issue.
