The Issue: The United Federation of Teachers endorsing Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani.
The fact that the New York City United Federation of Teachers endorsed Zohran Mamdani sends a message to citizens about what we can expect from our schools, which are bad enough already (“Selling Out NYC’s Kids,” Editorial, July 10).
We are teetering on the brink. This man will put us directly down the drain. Electing him will push an even bigger flight of the hard-working middle class right out of the city. Who will then pay for all the entitlements he wants to push?
The choice is not good, and another candidate needs to drop out to avoid splitting the anti-Mamdani vote. Who it will be depends on how much they love this city. We need to vote, and sometimes the devil you know is better than the real devil.
