NYC Progressives SAY NO: Rally Against Cuomo’s Cuts
Tuesday, September 08, 2020 • 5:00 PM
Governor Cuomo’s NYC Office• 633 Third Avenue, New York
They claim the reasons children-of-color (in particular black children) are not getting a FAIR education is all about racism. “Greed. Billionaires and privileged WHITE people.” They asked many times, “Is that Fair? Is that Equity?”

Flickr Slide Show: Outside Gov. Cuomo’s NYC office.
“Governor Cuomo is not a champion for our communities, specifically black, brown, and low-income communities. We cannot stand back and watch Cuomo rob our communities of the funds and resources they desperately need …”
“Recently, the New York State budget office informed school districts statewide that it was temporarily withholding 20 percent of the State’s payments. Statewide, New York’s schools are missing out on $5 billion in state aid. For New York State to intentionally hold back 20 percent of state funding for public education at any time is unconscionable; to do so now, weeks before schools are set to reopen amidst a pandemic is a direct attack on the safety of students, educators, and our communities.”
Part 2 Video: A 16 years old student addressed the crowd outside Gov. Cuomo’s NYC office.
“Governor Cuomo is not a champion for our communities, specifically black, brown, and low-income communities. We cannot stand back and watch Cuomo rob our communities of the funds and resources they desperately need amidst a global pandemic and growing inequities. If Cuomo successfully withholds the 20% of state aid in this moment, we will be reeling from the impacts of this decision for years.”
“Let’s show the governor that NYC says NO to any cut to our education budgets! We need more, not less!”
Demands:
1)The release of the 20% state aid that is being withheld by the Governor currently.
2)To demand that the state utilize the rainy day funds to fill any gaps in the state budget and to stop any potential cuts to the education budget.
3)To demand that the state legislature pass S7378 to tax the rich and generate the revenue needed to fully fund our schools.
“Together, we will win!“

The left who supported BLM who destroyed commerce in NYC now want money from the rich to fund schools. The rich have left and the middle class wants out. Good job Di Blasio. Good job to the looters and rioters. The cops are leaving, the tax base is leaving along with common sense.

As NY sinks into the morass of Leftard chaos, their cries will only become louder and more pathetic. Crush the Left.

Because the schools are doing such a fantastic job – Fantastic defined as “to challenge belief.”
Dr. Camille Paglia, professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, said in a discussion with scholar Christina Hoff Sommers:
“What has happened is these young people now getting to college have no sense of history of any kind. No sense of history. No world geography. No sense of the violence and the barbarities of history. So, they think that the whole world has always been like this, a kind of nice, comfortable world where you can go to the store and get orange juice and milk, and you can turn on the water and the hot water comes out. They have no sense whatever of destruction, of the great civilizations that rose and fell, and so on, and how arrogant people get when they’re in a comfortable civilization, etc. So they now are being taught to look around them to see defects in America – which is the freest country in the history of the world – and to feel that somehow America is the source of all evil in the universe, and it’s because they’ve never been exposed to the actual evil of the history of humanity. They know nothing!” .

Common sense – a rarity today – Like Churchill said – ” the only redeemable quality of communism is the equal sharing of misery “

That would at least be a start.

Black Students, and Adults, would do well to start by cleaning up their own neighborhoods, just as Malcolm X once said, and look what happened to him, however Schools should have equal treatment of course, and Schools in majority black neighborhoods are like war zones, who is to blame for that?, Fredo?, or the people in that area, as teachers have no desire to go into a war zone to teach kids that have no desire to learn.

New Yorkers with the mind-set that you can’t cut but only tax and tax a Special Class of citizen: I’ve got big news for news for you. The rich folks left town yesterday and if they didn’t they will. Why would they want to stay in a draconian State that wants to tax and penalize the producers and those who give employment to others? Screw NY, they can go to a State without an Income Tax that actually funds and respects their Police too! Good Luck, Governor Cuomo you over-promised and under-delivered and Mayor Red Bill De Blasio, you created an Anti-Semitic City, repressive government to anyone not of your choice of color or religion and using taxpayer dollars for projects to give special class status to this groups. By the way announcing no demonstrations except for BLM is illegal and you are going to lose to Ms Geller before the US Supreme Court. Get ready!

I love the “Black Students Matter” sign
Held by three white women; only one of which is even close to School Age.
Hilarious.
