It's not OK

Tomorrow is graduation. The second to last at Brooklyn Comprehensive Night High School.

We will "graduate" 44 18-21 years olds. Where will they go next?

Where will the students who don't graduate in June go?

These are students who are seriously disadvantaged. Some have mental illness. Some are barely literate. Most have more responsibilities than they can handle. Few of them can navigate the world without assistance.

We are talking about just over a hundred young people -- but those are the ones who bothered to reach out for help. What about the others?

Mr. Klein, it's not OK. We are setting young people up for lives in prisons, low paying jobs or homelessness.
