This country needs a lot more talented & gifted students to excel and if we are to compete with China and others. Instead, now a lot of these NYC school kids will instead be waiting while the teacher calms down the trouble-makers/unmotivated kids instead of behind challenged further academically. Like you said, it's leftist progressive dogma. To what extent can the incoming mayor reverse this?

He would have done in a more controlled manner, and slow down if necessary - not let it get to this point where it's a total takeover by the Taliban while Biden is vacationing.

He was also the first president in 40 years to NOT start a war.

Billions of dollars allocated for rental relief is tied up in state capitals. One can count on the government to demonstrate inefficiency.

Why is the above being downvoted? It's very likely a contributing factor to rise in un sales.

Yet another "feel good" policy pushed for by rich progressives in California which makes them sleep better while hurting the lower and middle class.
