Several Queens lawmakers were joined by a group of concerned parents outside of P.S. 203 The Oakland Gardens School on Friday, Oct. 15 to protest the elimination of the Gifted & Talented program, which has been widely criticized for exacerbating segregation in the nation’s largest public school system.
