Criticism of New York City Schools Found on Fourth Avenue

We're not entirely sure what the second graffiti writer--working in chalk--found offensive about this particular bit of tagging as opposed to all of the other tagging on Fourth Avenue and in the many blocks of Gowanus. But, we're amused when we find graffiti that responds to graffiti, especially when it's laced with political or social commentary. The school system-bashing graffiti, by the way, is on the construction wall in front of Shaya Boymelgreen's Park Slope Tower on increasingly trendy Fourth Avenue. It's across the street from the new Gowanus boutique hotel.
