Governor Kathy Hochul's approach to improving literacy in New York, including a significant investment in lesson plans from NYSUT, is questioned in light of the state's middling academic outcomes despite high per-student spending. The article draws parallels to the "Animal House" scenario, suggesting misplaced trust is harming children's education.
Gov. Kathy Hochul reads the children's book'Silly Little Goose' to pre-K students at Hudson Guild Children's Center in Manhattan on May 2, 2025.
Mississippi and other deep-south states are working miracles in teaching literacy, having embraced the insights of the “science of reading” movement; Hochul two years ago decided New York could catch up by . . . paying millions to New York State United Teachers to draw up lesson plans to match those gains.
Biden’s weaponized Justice Department is just Democrats vs. democracy New York spends far more per student than any other state, yet our academic outcomes are middling at best. Cut to the classic movie “Animal House,” when a senior frat brother tells the freshman whose borrowed car they just trashed: “Face it, you f—ked up. You trusted us.” Hochul messed up in trusting NYSUT, and New Yorkers messed up in trusting the gov — and the kids are stuck paying the price.
