Woke NYC schools are failing teachers
and pupils because they have no discipline
— this is why the UFT’s Michael Mulgrew
must be stopped

Isn't this typical modern liberalism? Throw out all the wisdom of the past, because, well, because it's from the past and people have forgotten WHY we do things the way we do them. They find a couple of poster child failures and condemn the whole system. The locals are making a mess of things so we impose liberal federal control over things and drown out local wisdom. Then, things start falling apart. Small problems build up, fundamental principles fall, everything goes to heck, and people start to notice and complain. Then an essential component of liberalism kicks in. Liberals can NEVER, EVER be held accountable for their actions. So, we are not spending enough, we have failure of individuals NOT the policies, we aren't implementing the policies purely enough in accordance with liberal principles, and every other possible obfuscation that can be used. By now, things have fallen apart and people forget that they actually worked much better before the liberal Carpetbaggers got their hands on it. It's also hard to restore structure and discipline and fixed principles to a freewheeling system. People aren't sure what to do. It will take a HUGE effort to turn things around and to do so will require fighting liberals who will be kicking and screaming all the way to the exit doors. Sound familiar?

Were Democrats honest, they would admit that government schools, especially those in NYC, are housing and indoctrination centers to churn out little dissidents, not educated students. When you lower the bar that much, as has been done since the days of "affirmative action" and now DEI, you fail these people and the country, making them less competent and thus less able to support themselves and to serve others competently.

They may graduate without being able to read, write or add 2 + 2, but they FEEL so damned good about themselves, how can anyone argue with that?

They should just give the little street urchins a high school diploma at birth and save the taxpayers a lot of money. Who elects people like this? (rhetorical, of course)

Not only NYC, but every Dem city in this country

And, the consequences of no consequences are playing out in every mall, fast food restaurant, airport and cruise ship in America.

The NYC cesspool rapidly rises while the electorate sheep, Baa Baa, operate their smartphones while paying no attention to the sinking of the educational scenario. Watching reruns of the Kardashians gives them pleasure and hope that questions will be asked about them during a job interview. Baa Baa.

Public schools in many places are just older-child daycare centers where momma and daddy (if they have one) can send them to and now worry about most of the day.
