The blue state model continues to falter
In our recent comparison of New York and Florida, written in response to left-wing Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s strange trolling of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, we briefly touched on how the Sunshine State is eating the Empire State’s lunch on education.

Anti-Israel rhetoric fuels antisemitism in NY's schools | Opinion
Two incidents in two local high schools in recent weeks have highlighted the increase in antisemitism in America and around the globe.At Scarsdale High School, flyers put up by the student-run Israeli Culture Club promoting a gathering to celebrate Israel’s Independence Day were torn down and stuffed into bathroom urinals. The school board president’s own daughter reposted a photo of a desecrated flyer on Instagram with the caption, “keep up the good work.” Then, just weeks later and less than thirty miles away, a teacher at Nyack High School straightening up her classroom at the end of the day discovered a swastika drawn on one of her desks. These are not random acts by disturbed loners. They are part of a broader trend resulting from the moral conflict over Israel’s prosecution of the war in Gaza and now in the war with Iran. We cannot conflate Israel's actions with Judaism While that debate is essential, conflating Israel’s actions with Judaism in general is dangerous and lazy. From politician’s podiums, Ivy League college campuses and Hollywood’s red carpets, America’s elites have espoused rhetoric that sows contempt and normalizes hate. These are the very adults who shape our culture and our politics.
