Cathie Black is so sorry about those pesky birth control comments! Really! Beyond the statement the DoE released Friday ("Black takes the issue of overcrowding very seriously..."), the embattled Schools Chancellor upped the ante last night and called Julie Menin, chair of Community Board 1 (during halftime, natch), to express just how truly regretful she was. The "remorseful" Black "gave a very sincere apology, and was very clear it didn't reflect her belief," Menin said. Still, we agree with Menin's theory that City Hall, which wants this dealt with posthaste, had something to do with that call.
