The New York Times article delves into the disqualification of Atlanta prosecutor Fani T. Willis in a case involving President-elect Donald J. Trump and his associates, potentially halting the last active criminal prosecution against Mr. Trump. The Georgia Court of Appeals made the decision due to an alleged appearance of impropriety stemming from a romantic relationship between Ms. Willis and the lawyer overseeing the case, sparking controversy and uncertainty about the case's future. Additionally, the article explores the ongoing debate surrounding the admissions process for specialized high schools in New York City, with concerns about racial disparities in admissions and strong opposition from Asian American families to any changes that may affect their access to these schools. Senator Chuck Schumer has voiced support for the current system, emphasizing the importance of fairness and equal opportunity in education. [Extracted from the article]
