Everything you need to know

🤰 2024 will see New York Democrats relying heavily on abortion. On the ballot in November 2024, New Yorkers will decide on a constitutional right to an abortion—a proposal that supporters of liberalism think will draw more voters. Enthusiasm among voters for the cause may aid New York Democrats in shifting the balance of power in the US House. Nonetheless, surveys indicate that New Yorkers are more concerned about migration, living costs, and crime.

📺 Hispanic news sources have become more tolerant of Trump. Recently, three executives from Univision, a Spanish-language media source that is typically critical of former president Trump, were invited to his house. In an interview, the publication probed him gently about his performance with Latino voters and even canceled Biden campaign staffers' airtime. Democrats are concerned about this trend because it makes the Hispanic vote in 2024 seem unpredictable.

🇮🇱 There are Jewish Americans who become anti-legacy media. Jewish people who claim to have been drawn to Fox News for its more impartial coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict were interviewed by the New York Times and the Free Press. The respondents, who comprise a preponderantly liberal group, have become weary of "antagonistic" reporting that, in their opinion, denigrates the Jewish state and minimizes Palestinian radicalism.

💨 NYC reduces police for immigrants. In order to deal with the growing flood of undocumented immigrants, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced harsh budget cuts for municipal services. For the first time in many years, the police force will number fewer than 30,000 as a result of the layoffs. The budget will also postpone trash disposal services and pull $1 billion out of the Education Department. Adams keeps asking for government assistance to handle the migrant issue, which he refers to as a "humanitarian crisis."

The Democratic Party wins back school boards

Here is what's going on: During last week's elections, the parents' rights in education campaign, which helped to loosen the grip teachers’ unions had on children's education, lost a few school board seats.

The specifics: In two widely watched bellwether school board contests in suburban Pennsylvania, candidates supported by the teachers’ union emerged victorious. Republicans focused on parents' concerns about curriculum during its term, which cost them a 6-3 majority in Central Bucks. The Pennridge School District saw an 8-1 loss for Republicans in the majority.

  • Falling numbers: Compared to previous years, when the number was 45%, candidates sponsored by the parents' rights group Moms for Liberty only won one-third of their campaigns. The percentage of elections won by candidates supported by the advocacy group 1776 Project, which advocates for an alternative curriculum, decreased to 59% from 76% in 2021.

  • The candidates: In their campaigning against conservative attempts to limit books, progressive school board candidates said that doing so would affect pupils who identify as gay or transgender.

Why it's important: Since the teachers union has been forcing school closures since 2020, Republicans have found that education is an increasingly successful and significant issue. A major portion of Glenn Youngkin's victory for Virginia governor came from parents who desired greater flexibility in schooling.

  • Not just in Virginia: More Republicans were elected to state legislatures and school boards as a result of this national effort. Also, people stated for the first time that they trust Republicans more than Democrats when it comes to education.

  • Republican outcomes: The country's victories for parents' rights at the local and state levels resulted in a previously unheard-of increase in educational freedom as well as other comprehensive reforms. A number of states have approved legislation pertaining to curriculum openness and universal school choice, including Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Utah.

In summary, these election results indicate that powerful teachers unions, which are losing statewide, are shifting their attention to regaining some of the local school board seats that they have lost recently by playing on voters' concerns over so-called "book bans."

Illinois eliminates school choice for low-income Students

Here is what’s going on: A well-liked tax credit program that offered scholarships for private school tuition to almost 9,600 low-income students since 2017 was terminated by Illinois Democrats.

Broad support: With nearly 20,000 students waiting for scholarships and 63 percent of Illinoisans in favor of the program, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker took no action to prevent the Invest in Kids Act from expiring.

Big Labor's role: Teachers unions, who are against the scholarship program, have donated to four of the five state legislators in Illinois.

Power and finances: Teachers’ unions have significant influence over the allocation of public funds to public schools. However, unions lose their hold on schools if parents use their money as this scheme permits.

  • Double standard: It was recently disclosed that Stacy Davis Gates, the president of the Chicago Teachers Union, sends her own son to a private school. Additionally, Gov. Pritzker enrolled his kids at pricey private schools.

Why it’s important: In Illinois's public schools, only 27% of students in the third through eighth grades are proficient in arithmetic, and 35% in reading. The Invest in Kids initiative gained popularity as it provided a means of escape for certain pupils from the failing public education system. The poor pupils now have to find other methods to pay for their tuition or drop out of the school that their parents believe is the greatest.
