As for the deleterious effects of the strike, Psychologist Kenneth Clark, a member of the state board of regents, argued sarcastically that many New York schools were so bad that "the children weren't getting that much education anyway." What worried him more was the growth of hostility between Negroes and Puerto Ricans, whose children constitute a majority of the city's public school students, and Jews, who dominate the teachers' union. U.F.T. pickets shouted charges that Ocean Hill-Brownsville residents were using fascist tactics and teaching "antiwhite racism," and blacks accused the union teachers...
