Zohran Mamdani’s options to lead NYC schools include fire-alarm pulling Dem Jamal Bowman, who wants ‘revolution’

Jamaal Bowman, the disgraced fire alarm-pulling former congressman who illegally managed a middle school without a principal’s license, is “pushing hard” to be the city’s next schools chancellor and is vowing to lead a “revolution in our public schools,” The Post has learned.

The bombastic ex-“Squad” member sounded like he had already won the appointment from his socialist soulmate Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani Thursday night, when he addressed comrades at the Democratic Socialists of America’s NYC chapter on Zoom.

“I’m an educator, lifelong educator. When we get universal child care y’all it’s going to lead to a revolution in our public schools!” he thundered.

“Let’s continue building power. . . . Winning this election gives us and Zohran the right to govern but it doesn’t give us the power.”

Bowman, 49, who campaigned heavily for Mamdani, has been leaning on close comrade Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to lobby the incoming mayor to get him the city’s top education gig, a source told The Post.

Bowman did some lobbying himself this weekend — he was spotted strolling with two United Federation of Teachers officials at the SOMOS conference in Puerto Rico Friday.

The powerful teachers’ union endorsed Mamdani and is heavily involved in crafting his education policy.

“He’s been pushing for this job for a long time,” the insider said of Bowman’s desire to become chancellor.

However, Bowman has run into opposition from another avowed Marxist, former Mayor Bill de Blasio, who doesn’t believe he has the necessary experience for the role.

Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.

And the next move will be to push a ban on boys’ activities while letting girls have it all. That will push transgenderism.

Yeah...I want a revolution in schools, too....but, I do NOT think it is what THEY want. Schools need to be disbanded...they are UNeducation institutions...or just call them DAYCARE.

All these people are just parasites on the govt system to get a fat pension, no work and fat salary. They are all worthless and the underpaid staffers beneath them will do all the work

Mamdani has not shown his hand so far in who will lead the nation’s biggest school system — which faces plummeting student enrollment, chronic absenteeism and lackluster test scores on reading and math. As if characters like Bowman are going to help improve any of this. Quite the opposite. It will all be about political indoctrination and making students feel pride in their non-achievements. And, of course, Bowman will be compensated quite hansomely for his incompetence.

There are only two things this clown is going to do.

First, will be to install every radical muslim or immigration activist he can dig out of the commie sewer and install them in to every city agency he can.

After that, he does nothing but complain the bad orangeman and republicans are stifling his glorious communist islamic revolution and he MUST start running for governor to really get things done. Once he is installed as governor, then he needs to REALLY get things done for the glorious revolution and run for Senate where he and AOC can really get things done AND change the constitution to allow foreign marxist bastards to run for president.

He will make the schools into madrassas - the kids will learn to recite the koran in Arabic and learn both by heart

He’d be perfect! Too bad the fellow from Des Moines is not actively seeking employment, though.

That doesnt really work anymore…. People expect “change”….. again…. And if he cant deliver with his promises of “fighting” Trump and the oligarchy he will be considered a failure quick like. When the national inflation is rate is 3 and NYC is 7.5 how can they blame Trump lol.
