Well, it took two weeks for New York Schools Chancellor Cathie Black to put her foot in her mouth.

In a meeting with Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver‘s task force on school overcrowding in Tribeca, Black briefly shocked the concerned parents of this affluent neighborhood in suggesting more “birth control” to stem the problem.  Most at the meeting seemed bewildered and stunned at her flippant attitude.

Imagine her feelings towards less-wealthy boroughs and neighborhoods in the city?

Cathie, you obviously didn’t read our action plan on doing a good job.  This will go on your permanent record.
