Waiting List for Kindergartens put Manhattan Parents on Edge

As a growing collection of Manhattan’s most celebrated public elementary schools notify neighborhood parents that their children have been placed on waiting lists for kindergarten slots, middle-class vitriol (刻薄话, 辱骂之词) against the school system—and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg—is mounting.
Parents are venting their frustrations in e-mail messages and phone calls to the mayor, local politicians and the schools chancellor, Joel I. Klein. Some plan a rally on the steps of City Hall for next Wednesday afternoon ("Kindergartners Are Not Refugees!" proclaims a flier), and some are taking it upon themselves to scour the city for potential classroom space.
The outpouring of anger comes as state lawmakers consider whether to renew mayoral control of the city school system, which expires in two months, and Mr. Bloomberg is seeking a third term in part on his education record.

A. They are considering the renewing of mayor’s control of the city school system.
B. They are opening up more public schools for the children.
C. They are revising the education laws to set up more schools.
D. They are making laws limiting the children entering into schools.
