We literally just spent a year proving that "new technology" sucks when it comes to teaching children. How does anyone still think the future is remote schooling? I'm so confused.
It’s not “nonsense online,” sir, it’s your own words. A better clarification is needed.
Also, retweeting Mark “I do what the teachers’ union tells me to” Treyger in your defense is a bad look. Treyger spent the pandemic fighting against schools opening.

I can't believe today is going to be a "America played no role in WWII" day but ok.
I don't discount Soviet contribution in WWII. My grandmother's 2 brothers were sent to the front & never heard from again. But pointing to Soviet loss of life as evidence they won that war is absurd. The loss of life was because they treated their people as cannon fodder. C'mon.
Also does all history have to be rewritten from an "America sucks" perspective? We're objectively the greatest, freest, country to ever exist. We're not perfect, but there is no perfect, and we are close enough. Just stop.
Europeans don’t care about their kids less than we do. I don’t care about my kids less than you care about your kids. It’s insane to so intensely mask a demographic that has bad outcomes from COVID so rarely. nypost.com/2021/05/02/the…
Parents sometimes tell me some variation of: “My kid loves the mask. His face feels naked without it. He feels like Batman. I can’t get the mask off him!” Great. Your kid can wear the mask into adulthood. Just leave mine alone. nypost.com/2021/05/02/the…
Black and Hispanic kids go to bad, unchallenging, NYC public schools that leave them unprepared to take the SHSAT test for competitive high schools. Progressive solution: Get rid of the test.
Getting rid of the SHSAT just hides the evidence of these failing schools. It does absolutely nothing to fix anything about education or equity. And the intense focus on it is a distraction from the truth: our school mostly suck.
Here's a great piece by Alina Adams, and then her husband who attended Stuy, that breaks it all down.
Last week, in Florid, I went to a “mask optional” coffee shop. It was amazing. I walked in grinning. I went back 3 times in 24 hrs. I bought everything. Their mug, to-go cup, phone holder. But I’m afraid to shout them out because of busybodies who will try to get them shut down.
Yesterday on @BuckSexton’s show, he was talking about bad flights, intense rule enforcement, and I was wary of saying that I had great experiences on several United flights where they were chill about masks. The crazies are in control of the conversation and we have to stop them.
Post-pandemic we have to see shopping local as our patriotic duty. These businesses have suffered while Amazon thrived. I’ve sharply decreased my Amazon spending in the last few months and urge others to do the same. My Monday column in @nypost: nypost.com/2021/04/25/let…
I was the person who had Amazon packages at my door every day. I get that it’s a hard habit to break. And I’m not saying I’ve gotten to zero purchases. But I’m doing what I can for the local stores which need our support more than ever right now.
Shopping local, and breaking our Amazon addiction, isn't a new idea. But it's an urgent one: nypost.com/2021/04/25/let…
