Full communist and isn't shy about it.
Kinda like taking over the steel industry right?
Full on communist.
Wait did he take over US Steel?He is an avowed communist. He does not hide it. Good luck NYC
The Trump admin did that in the interest of National security. I have already posted that I do not agree with it.Wait did he take over US Steel?
And if he didn't, who did?
So the actions of the president is socialism. Why isn't he a communist in your eyes then?The Trump admin did that in the interest of National security. I have already posted that I do not agree with it.
But that pales in comparions to the avowed communist Mamdani. "If he tells you who he is, believe him" - Maya Angelo.
Everyone should be scared of a liar.This yankee commie fella sure does freak out the dems and republicans.

I’d respect him more if he just came out and said “I knew it would give me a better chance of getting accepted.”Ohhhh nooo not a liar!!!!![]()
That's funny. Now tell me more about your principles against liars. It's a riot.I’d respect him more if he just came out and said “I knew it would give me a better chance of getting accepted.”
But I want the people of NYC to get what they want. If they want him, by all means give it to them.
It will undoubtedly increase my property values here in SC

Grocery stores that don’t have to pay taxes or rent! It’s just free!
Someone explain opportunity cost to Zophran. There is no such thing as free.
He misunderstands just as he misread the website where he thought the funding was. Grade A moron.

He wants to reduce the jail population. A worthy goal, but i don't think this will work out like the left thinks it will.
Democrats openly run on higher crime.
I have one for sale. Wonder if he's willing to pay the market rate.Yikes
How do our lefties feel about Mamdani eliminating gifted and talented programs in schools if he wins elections?
It was a corrupt program. Abuse of tax payer dollars to provide quality education to primarily well off kids whose parents didn’t want to pay for private school. He’s allocating those funds to the broader school district.How do our lefties feel about Mamdani eliminating gifted and talented programs in schools if he wins election?

That being said, I think it would’ve been better to restructure the program so it wasn’t abused. You have to have an outlet for talented kids who aren’t challenged by a standard school system but their parents can not afford private school.
How was it being abused?
My son is in the equivalent (called SAIL here) and it seems like a good program and I haven't heard of any abuse here. Not that I would even know how to abuse the system. There are straightforward test score thresholds to be admitted.
Congrats on having your child get accepted.
Note that De Blasio also wanted to terminate the program, and that it’s only proposed to be terminated for elementary school.
What I’ve been told is that parents with means are investing in test prep in order to get kids qualified so they don’t have to pay for private school. It wasn’t giving access to gifted, but instead the most prepared. There is also a lot of evidence that homework in elementary school is a net-negative for students. So let kids be kids and start identifying who is gifted in middle school.
I’m not a fan of Mamdani, but the establishment dems are terrified of him and are twisting a lot of his messaging. He’s not an insider so they feel threatened. What a worthless group of people.
it's all in the behest for equity......so we'll have equity of mediocrityOur kids test in during 2nd grade (you can test in later as well if you don’t make it in 2nd). I don’t know of any parents who have done test prep, but they could be out there. It’s an affluent public school with a bunch of families who could do private if they wanted to or thought it was best for their kid (we don’t).
6th grade (middle school) is too late imo, but I’m not an educator. My son doesn’t really have extra homework from SAIL. He had one project last year but that’s it.
I think it’s good he gets extra instruction, more advanced material and the confidence boost of knowing he’s a bright kid. It would be a shame if the program were to go away.
