New York State [where I attended the excellent public schools guided by the excellent [at the time] Board of Regents from 1956 to 1967] is LOST.

Past time to withdraw.

This isn’t grand-pappy’s New York State.

It has been destroyed by insane democrats, RINOs, racists and commie/socialist/globalists.

The politicians in blue states can see what leftist political-social-woke policies have done to places like California but they trudging along on that same path.

Ditto here. Utica (Whitesboro), Ithaca, and Syracuse (Fayetteville), 1956 to 1966. The schools were excellent.
