The pol for folks
I ponder if the mother and father of New York Metropolis schoolchildren understand what a chance Republican candidate for governor Rep. Lee Zeldin is presenting to them (“Parents for Lee,” Yiatin Chu and Maud Maron, PostOpinion, Sept. 29).
Permitting mother and father the liberty to decide on what sort of schooling they need for his or her kids would tremendously enhance their high quality of schooling.
So many mother and father need their kids to attend constitution faculties, but Gov. Hochul and the Democrats in Albany do the whole lot they’ll to restrict and destroy these faculties.
It’s superb that New York spends virtually $25,000 per scholar and will get such poor outcomes.
The general public faculties are failing our kids, significantly kids who want a top quality schooling to elevate them up in society. It’s a disgrace that New York (supposedly a first-world metropolis) produces so many kids who’re barely literate.
Dad and mom, grandparents and all those that care about our future — you will have an opportunity in November to do one thing about this horrible state of affairs. Vote for Zeldin, and vote the bums out.

Increase the Age folly
The Increase the Age regulation has primarily served as a no-risk apprenticeship program for New York Metropolis gangs (“Why ‘Raise the Age’ Backfired,” Editorial, Sept. 26).
Children as younger as 12 years outdated are being recruited to deal with, visitors and use weapons as a part of their “coaching.” And why not? Whereas these newbies will wind up within the pleasant confines of Household Courtroom, an 18-year-old with a prison document tied to firearms can be dealing with a lot harder penalties.
It’s a simple selection — made even simpler by clueless, woke Democratic politicians like Gov. Hochul — who demanded knowledge on crime, obtained it courtesy of The Put up and continues to do nothing.

Speedy mayor
That is simply one other instance of a Democrat telling everybody what to do then ignoring his personal legal guidelines (“Speed cams nailing Eric’s lead-foot detail,” Sept. 25).
The place’s the outrage about this? No matter occurred to main by instance? Why can’t Mayor Adams do what everybody else who follows the pace restrict does — depart earlier?
This man is all pomp and no substance. Partying at unique golf equipment is extra necessary than the crime that’s operating rampant by way of the 5 boroughs.

‘Bias’ baloney
Democrats have at all times had an enormous benefit with regards to the information and leisure media, and now the sports activities media are on their aspect, too (“Gavin’s Media-Bias Gripe,” Editorial, Sept. 27).
Massive Tech censors the suitable.
Nonetheless, lefties like California Gov. Gavin Newsom prefer to consider that due to a small variety of media firms like Fox Information, the New York Put up and The Wall Avenue Journal, leftists are someway at an enormous drawback.
Their thought of equity is nobody doing something aside from repeating the Democrats’ occasion line. They want they’d full management of the whole lot and there was no criticism of something they do.

Adams’ PR journey
Whereas crime in New York Metropolis continues, Mayor Adams went to save lots of Puerto Rico (“Adams a really big help . . . in P. Rico,” Sept. 26).
This man loves having his image taken. What might he do for Puerto Rico that the individuals of Puerto Rico can’t do for themselves? He’s a joke.
