All I can say is…”really!?” The Post is actually arguing that it is a good thing to lost 6000 teaching slots…Are you kidding me?

Only on Gotham Schools will a $50 million dollar drop in funding for child care from the previous year get a headline like that.

The fact that Gotham posts every NY Post article on education, no matter how poorly it’s written or how short it is on actual facts has hurt Gotham School’s credibility. I stopped reading the Post because I understand it for what it is, a right wing tool to spread propaganda. It is now time for me to question my reading of Gotham Schools, which is clearly allowing itself to be used to spread the NY Post’s propaganda.
