The show evolved out of Race2Represent, a multimedia
initiative MNN introduced last fall to provide quality, hyperlocal information about candidates running for Manhattan
City Council
seats and the Borough President's Office.
Earlier this month, the DOE was patting itself on the back and calling its test prep
initiative a success — even though it enrolled 200 fewer students than initially intended, and not a single one of those students has yet to take the Specialized High - School Admissions Test (SHSAT), much less score highly enough to be offered a
seat at one of the
city's top performing schools.
