How does a one term mayor respond to demands for restoring unnecessary budget cuts ($5 bill in federal stimulus unaccounted for and ample state funding according to comptroller Brad Lander)?? Watch/listen to this ridiculous response! (Putting his hand up like he's the Pope 🤡)

The Deputy Chancellor claims that Early Childhood administrators, program directors and teachers don't need Instructional Coordinators and Social Workers. We have a survey completed by nearly 300 who say otherwise. Join us Wednesday! PRESS NYC: Responsive Equitable and Safe Schools Make the Road NY 🦋 We’re your School Board #CEC14 ❤️ #CareNotCuts

“It’s critically important that if you’re working hard and making good grades, you should not be thrown into a lottery with just everybody.” To be clear: The everybody that the Chancellor is speaking of is the largely poor Blk & Latino students he serves. nytimes.com/2022/09/29/nyr…

Nice try ⁦Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani⁩ BUT admissions policies based on “merit” hinder equity. They hide/legitimize structural inequities & institutional racism that produce unequal academic outcomes in 1st place, & they serve the interests of the already advantaged. washingtonpost.com/education/2022…

Thank goodness for the people power that is created by the collective. We don't care to have a system that perpetuates a manufactured scarcity. There is plenty for everyone despite the lies our mayor tells us. MORE-UFT

Yes please! The privatization playbook by Michelle Rhee and friends has proven to do one thing- funnel public tax dollars into wealthy hands. The New Teacher Project (TNTP) is Rhee's baby and our current Deputy Chancellor, Dan Weisberg is it's Exec Director. Follow the $$.
