Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams quietly reversed his support for eliminating the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test after Chinese-American donors pulled out of upcoming fundraisers, The Post has learned.

Two sources told The Post that a June 21 fundraiser planned with Chinese hotel workers in Manhattan was canceled, while other donors from the Chinese community had begun backing out of a separate event.

Adams has been fundraising hard this year for an expected mayoral run in 2021.

“Nothing [moves] faster than when it hits your wallet,” a leader in the Brooklyn Chinese community said of Adams’ change of heart.

The Brooklyn BP was among the first public officials to back Mayor Bill de Blasio’s bid to eliminate the entrance exams, which for years have yielded relatively few black and Hispanic students at the city’s top eight public high schools.

“For years we tried to get rid of this darn test and we’re finally getting rid of this test!” Adams said at the mayor’s press conference on June 3 announcing state legislation to phase out the exam over three years.

But in the face of a severe backlash, Adams organized an emergency meeting with the Asian community just three days later — where he softened his stance that the exam had to go.

Asian students have fared well on the single-exam admissions into the city’s elite high schools, and the Asian community has been vocal in denouncing de Blasio’s plan.

Soon after the community meeting, Adams told select Chinese media that he’s now backing multiple entrance criteria — while keeping the exam — and called for creating one additional specialized high school per borough.

“My goal is not to disappoint friends. The Chinese community and my office, we have cooperated together on many important items,” Adams told The Chinese Press in a video posted June 15. “It’s my goal to let the Chinese community know that I hear you.”

Adams’ office repeatedly denied any fundraisers were canceled, and initially said no fundraiser had been scheduled in Manhattan on June 21.

Aides said Adams had a conflicting fundraiser planned long ago for that same night in Brooklyn.

But after The Post provided a flyer for a June 21 fundraiser at a downtown Sheraton hotel, campaign aides called it an “out-of-date” flyer for an event that was never finalized.

They said the event had been planned as a celebration of a groundbreaking for a Friendship Archway in Sunset Park’s Chinatown, but that it was postponed weeks ago because of a delay.

“No fundraisers have been canceled … and in any case I would never change an issue stance because of a fundraiser,” said Adams.

He added that he had appeared at de Blasio’s announcement because he saw the state legislation as a starting point in the conversation, not the endpoint.

“Based on the considerable feedback I have received from communities across our borough, I do not believe the legislation should advance in its current form,” he said.
