Williamsburg, Brooklyn is home to a lot of hipsters and then some other people that deliver their pizzas and vegan Thai food. LATE. And, like, all these white parents kind of don’t want their little McKenzie Siennas going to school with all the little José Emilios, kthnxbye:

A push to open a new public school in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn is running into an unexpected obstacle: the politics of gentrification.

A group of mostly white parents had the idea for an elementary school that would have a social studies-centered curriculum, and it seemed poised to open this year. But the school’s future is now uncertain, after an angry protest from more than 300 parents — mostly Hispanic — recently led the Department of Education to declare one possible location for the new school off bounds.

They’re such an angry people, really. Relax, you guys! Have a Sparks!:

The idea of a new school was to cut into the paradox. As the parents behind the idea see it, the schools have so few students because parents are opting out of local public schools in favor of either private schools or so-called [Ed note: LOL!] progressive public schools in Manhattan.

A new school with a similar approach, right in their neighborhood, might convince parents to stay, the thinking went.

A proposal to build a new school called the Discovery School hit a roadblock recently when local Hispanic parents heard it might move into their building, at P.S. 84.

Uh, just stop breeding. As more and more Williamsburg-area hipsters become too inebriated to remember to wear a condom, it seems you can’t stumble drunkenly down Driggs without accidentally elbowing some baby wearing a quirky knit cap in the face. Sorry BABY. And then you notice the baby’s already declaring Vampire Weekend to be “like, a parody of their former selves” and you’re like “But the album just came out?” and the baby kind of raises an eyebrow at you and you. Feel. Small.
