Rhetoric a new R

Now that New York City Mayor and far-left Democrat Bill de Blasio has chosen Carmen Farina to become chancellor of NYC schools, city residents can expect a sharp turn to the left on education policy.

Farina, a former teacher and long-time adviser to de Blasio, shares the mayor's desire to foist a "progressive agenda" upon NYC schools, she said at a news conference earlier this week.

"This progressive agenda actually says we know there are things that need to happen, but they need to happen with people, not to people," she said.
