I like WSJ’s editorial on the double standards of politicians pushing public schools while sending their kids to private. I’d like to know how many NYC politicians, especially those on the city council’s education board, send their kids to private schools, and then I’d like to see how they vote on education issues. I’d love to see the press cover this.
