Mayor Bloomberg Adopts Roland Fryer's Cell Phone Incentive Program

Roland Fryer, an economist at Harvard, has studied the causes of low Black achievement in schooling, and because of that research and other research, he developed an inititative for NYC schools in which high achieving minority students would receive free cellphones, sporting event tickets, and other bonuses. Bloomberg has just approved it. I look forward to seeing Fryer's subsequent publications from this experiment.
