For the same reasons that the founders crafted our Constitution. They truly cared, and acted to guarantee our God Gven Liberties to even the worst of us.

Why should the rest of the USA care about what happens in NYC?
they voted for him so let them lay in the pile of crap and don’t complain.
Anyone in NYC who is conservative should leave ASAP.
I could go along with him if he insisted on no free rent for anyone anywhere in nyc
Hopefully some private organization or person will step up and provide the space.
Actually less then half did, it was a 3 way race as I remember..........plus you need to care as this sets a president for legal cases........I hope they sue
LOL! I did, last year and I grew up there. Best thing I ever did. The final straw was Bloomberg demanding a list from landlords of all the tenants who smoke, that was it for me. Now we are getting into Nazi tactics “Send us der list of der Juden” so I got the hell out of there, and it seems just in time. Now they got Stalin to deal with.
IMHO.....the people of NYC gave up their rights when they elected this dog.
Let them suffer. Maybe it will serve as a example to everyone else who can think before they pull the lever for a flaming Liberal/commie like De Blasio.
NYC has ceased to be America a long time ago.
So, the socialist lives down to the notion that we should not work to raise the performance against (pathetically lax) standards, but rather we should force the capable to participate in the politics of failure.
DeBlasio, don’t elevate. Denigrate.
You commie POS.
Amen to that.
Ah the wisdom of the brain dead voters of New York and their mind numbingly stupid decision.
“Anyone in NYC who is a conservative should leave ASAP.”
As our Governor has said, conservatives have no place in New York, and Mr. DeBlasio agrees.
So, all you conservatives should convert to Progressivism because if you are not a Progressive you are a
knuckle-dragging, bible-thumping, gun-loving Christian moron, who, of course, is not welcome in New York.
IMHO
Ha ha look at this...

You mean leftist policies don’t help the very people that leftists “fight” for?
it's for the chilrens...
We see this everywhere in our country. People who have absorbed it act like they're brainwashed--psychotic--delusional--unable to see truth and scornful of it--totally saturated with groupthink.
Those who resist it must have a powerful internal moral compass, integrity, and commitment to truth for its own sake. Some do. My children, I am happy to say, are all like this. They resisted steadfastly and truthfully. They think for themselves. They are wise.
The real reason for the disparity (well, most of it) is that charter schools can kick out kids who either don't behave, have special needs, or are simply low-performing. I teach public school in L.A., and we see it every year in the spring in California when the CST is taken. The charter schools kick out their worst kids just before the test to raise their scores, and the children show up in our admissions office about a week before the test.
The two biggest problems that I see are 1) we cannot kick kids out of middle school. It doesn't matter if they start fights, set fires (yes, really), vandalize property, curse at teachers, bully smaller kids, have weapons, sell drugs, disrupt the classroom every single day... we cannot kick them out. At best we can find another school to transfer them to, if that school will take them. That school will usually offer to swap one of their own little sociopaths and we agree, hoping that if we peel a kid away from his little crew he runs around with, the shock might make him straighten up a little. Of course, we can only do this with the parent's permission. (I say parent because there's usually only one.)
The other problem, I admit, is the union. We can't get rid of bad teachers either, but I have to say (though no one on FR will believe me) that bad teachers aren't as prevalent as people think. Most people who can't teach realize it and quit after a year or two. But a few do hang in there, and they can be a bit of a bummer. But even a mediocre teacher can do pretty well if the children are well-behaved. They just can't deal with the wild little thugs we get. I've been doing it for 10 years now and let me tell you, it's like juggling on a tightrope.
