2. Walk with Our Candidates
1) How the Sausage is Made
Last week, 500 Power of Ten readers signed a petition to Governor Cuomo asking him to reject Senator Felder's proposal to exempt Hasidic Jewish children from NY State compulsory education law.
What happened? The Forward reports: Cuomo Called The Rebbe. The Rebbe Prayed To God. The Budget Deal Got Done.
Shulem Deen asks in the NY Times: Why Is New York Condoning Illiteracy?
NY State Education Department now has to answer Mr. Deen's question, or else change their mission statement to read: "raise the knowledge, skill, and opportunity of some of the people in New York"
2) Walk with Our Candidates
Our candidates for East Ramapo school board are taking to the street, every weekend, to meet our neighbors and talk about the upcoming budget and board election. Please join them! For details, contact Chevon at chevon0939@gmail.com
