Report: Administration for Children’s Services knows it has pervasive racial bias
The New York City Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) has a racial bias problem, and it is one that is so obvious that the organization was outed by one of its own reports.
Following a Freedom of Information Law request by the Bronx Defenders, the New York Times reported that ACS commissioned an internal audit in December 2020 and found pervasive racial bias and incentives for its staff members to protect themselves rather than families.
The Times reported that rather than do anything with this report of racial bias, ACS decided to sweep it under the rug instead.
