The Newsom children's return to school reinforces concerns from lawmakers that families who can afford private schools have a jumpstart, further widening the achievement gap.

I find it interesting that one of the Teacher’s unions demands to be met to go back to work is that all private schools be closed, i.e. permanently shut down. I guess the dictator of California doesn’t support them on that.

This is one incredible virus - it can differentiate public vs. private school kids. Just wow.

Not sure how this article got by Politico’s editors. The writer might want to get her resume in order

Has Carla Marinucci , the senior California correspondent for Politico, made any reference to this article in her twitter feed? If she has I missed it

Wouldnt be surprised if Politico and twitter give this article the NY Post treatment

Oh I dunno...Rats eatin’ their own for insufficient Political Correctness is not surprising.

They’re all ugly wretches and Jenny Siebel must cause them enormous bitterness and jealousy.

But I don’t mind piling on. Newsom sold his soul to the worst of the worst, thinking they wouldn’t eat him.

He’s not just wrong but stupid for thinking so. They’ll boil him in oil someday, and all the Getty money in the world won’t save him.

I have a long held belief that all politicians either send their children to public schools or home-school them, without assistance. I grew up in California and back in the day Panetta sent his children to private school, while I was forced to endure bilingual immersion experiments at my public school.

What do folks not understand about the difference between the ruling class and the proletariat in a Socialist utopia?

Yeah and now we have to endure his worthless kid Jeemie as our “representative”.

It’s Humper Biden with an Italian surname.

And the drooling morons here roll for it all the time.

“I interpret it as Newsome saying that he is too inept to make public school safe but competent administrators in private schools have no problem with doing it.”

Or kids going to public school don’t deserve real teachers!

“Achievement gap”. Between what, ruling class kids and all the others? The ruling class is fine with that, make no mistake.

Nuisance is not up for re-election this year. By the time he is the vaccine will be out and everyone will have forgotten about this. We live in a world of short attention spans.
