When asked by MSNBC&#8217;s Joe Scarborough whether he planned on running, though, de Blasio demurred.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to be in public service no matter what,&#8221; de Blasio said. &#8220;In the weeks ahead, I&#8217;ll certainly have more to say about that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>New York ranks 16th in education among states, according to <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report<\/em>. In October, de Blasio <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/de-blasio-moves-to-end-nycs-gifted-and-talented-school-programs\/\">moved to end<\/a> New York City&#8217;s prestigious &#8220;gifted and talented&#8221; school programs, a major concession to &#8220;antiracist&#8221; activists who say advanced-learning education inhibits racial equity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The era of judging four-year-olds based on a single test is over,&#8221; de Blasio said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>One organization, New Yorkers for Racially Just Public Schools, applauded the decision, going as far as to call the advanced-learning programs a &#8220;tool of segregation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mayor-elect Eric Adams opposed de Blasio&#8217;s decision and has promised to expand &#8220;gifted and talented&#8221; programs in the city.<\/p>\n<p>The estimated cost of de Blasio&#8217;s plan would add $5.4 billion annually to the state&#8217;s education budget. He has <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BilldeBlasio\/status\/1461332797071761413\">touted<\/a> it as a way to &#8220;reduce inequality&#8221; and said it would be paid for by &#8220;tax[ing] the wealthy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will increase the state&#8217;s income tax for everyone making over a million dollars,&#8221; the plan says, &#8220;and new brackets for the highest earners to make sure those who can afford it most give ALL New York&#8217;s children and families a shot at success while reducing the outrageous levels of inequality in our state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The plan also appears to paper over reductions to the city&#8217;s law enforcement budget. &#8220;When kids have reliable after school programming, they&#8217;re less likely to commit crimes,&#8221; the plan says. The mayor cut the city&#8217;s police budget in June 2020 by $1 billion.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Policy New York City mayor moved to end &#8216;gifted and talented&#8217; programs in October  Mayor Bill de Blasio  Josh Christenson \u2022 November 18, 2021 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1027613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1027613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1027613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1027613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1027613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1027613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1027613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
