New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani continues to make waves with his radical agenda. This time he’s targeting charter schools, producing some strong reactions from parents and residents.
In an exclusive report by The New York Post, the newspaper wrote that Mamdani “plans to declare war on charter schools if he’s elected mayor,” according to a survey he answered June before the Democratic primary.
The state assemblyman said he would “fight efforts to open more charters, which largely educate minority, working-class students, and even opposed the schools sharing space in city-owned buildings,” the article read.
“I oppose efforts by the state to mandate an expansion of charter school operations in New York City,” he said in a Staten Island Advance questionnaire.
Mother Arlene Rosado, who has a son in 10th grade at the “Nuasin Next Generation” K-12 charter school in the Bronx, said Mamdani doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
“I don’t understand why Mamdani would be hostile to charter schools,” she said. “I think he’s very misinformed.”
Rosado reportedly moved her son there because he was being bullied in public school. His situation has since improved after he was given the option to leave.

Typical low intelligence, low information people will glom onto one thing he vomits out and say to themselves, hey, I could use something like that. They never put 2 and 2 together to see it cannot work.

The Left doesn't care about reality. I'd say that is a central part of their problem.
On RussiaGate, Brennan was pushing lies that the intelligence community knew to be lies -- but Brennan told them: "It rings true, doesn't it?" Hey, if it sounds good, then that's even better than reality, eh?
And, as you point out, Mamdani pushes crazy ideas that have no chance of working -- but they sure sound great, don't they? Rainbows and unicorns for everyone, who could ask for more?
