The Post rightly emphasizes mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo’s hubris and inability to perceive his errors in his years as New York’s governor (“Cuo’s blame duck,” March 18).
But the true concern is that he’s the one candidate who can stop Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani from turning into mayor. The Post ought to let readers know who it helps and who can stop Mamdani.

Never underestimate the temerity of Andrew Cuomo. Two hours with The Post editorial board was nothing to him. Being contentious is as straightforward as respiration for him.
Last October, he testified earlier than the House subcommittee on COVID-19 and denied any wrongdoing within the deaths of hundreds as a end result of his management of the pandemic.
The committee’s report accused Cuomo of medical malpractice, underreporting nursing-home deaths and making an attempt to affect witness testimony, main to a felony referral to the Justice Department. They did what Gov. Hochal promised the households, however by no means delivered.
Now he desires to save New York City as our mayor? I don’t suppose so.

Reading this text confirmed for me that Cuomo isn’t just making an attempt to win the race for mayor, however setting himself up for a national run.
He’s seen that the Democratic Party has moved too far left, and is now making an attempt to transfer himself more towards the middle. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is transferring from the far left, and Cuomo at all times had Newsom as his foremost problem for management of the Democratic Party.
A presidential run was at all times, and nonetheless is, his foremost goal.

At least we all know what we’re going to get with Cuomo. Is The Post planning to endorse that socialist radical Mamdani as an alternative?
He desires no police division, all prisons closed, dislikes Israel and has the standard socialist thought of free the whole lot.

There is no higher instance of the Democrats’ corruption than the town Department of Education (“Schools’ Count Dracula,” March 14).
It seems that a third of the town’s price range is just not enough to present even probably the most primary schooling to make sure that all youngsters are literate once they graduate high faculty.
No quantity of money will clear up the abysmal take a look at scores which have reached society-crushing ranges on their watch. The whole system wants to be overhauled.

Every kind of schooling reform has already been tried within the identify of avoiding the elephant within the room: parenting, or the shortage thereof. No new class-size applications or larger trainer salaries will make a distinction.
Low scores are sometimes related to low-income households. Scores will go up if welfare is supplemented relying on take a look at scores and how many faculty features dad and mom attend. Attendance, punctuality and habits ought to all be thought-about.
I guarantee that father or mother, pupil and trainer involvement will rise.
