⚠️ During de Blasio era, son of hard working Brazilian immigrants I knew was excelling academically. I gave him books as gifts bc he loved to read. His mom was frantic! He was going to be shut out of G+T classes! All his parents worked for! Mamdani will hurt minorities!
"He says he’ll start by scrapping G&T classes in Kindergarten, but then move along in higher grades, following the plan Mayor Bill de Blasio outlined on his way out of office." Zohran Mamdani just escalated his war on excellence in NYC public schools https://t.co/Yf6Kc1nTcF

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.
