    Brooklyn Principal Apologizes for Remark Deemed Offensive

    According to several parents, the principal, Donna Taylor, of Public School Intermediate School 686, which is known as the Brooklyn School of Inquiry, said at an open house for potential middle school parents on Tuesday that in New York City, “if you don’t speak Spanish, you’re going to clean your own house.”

    The comment came as several dozen parents, many with their fifth-grade children in tow, took a tour of the school, a gifted and talented program in Bensonhurst where the competition for available seats is extraordinary. The group visited classrooms, and then went to the auditorium to hear a presentation by Ms. Taylor.
