@LauraLoomer Many of us are pissed off. At least you’re in good company. No matter what we will continue the fight against all the crazies and the radicals and I hope that most Americans will try to find consensus in the middle somewhere.

@BillAckman And then you see what El Salvador is doing. Politics is killing this country. We need reform. School boards should be accountable to parents. And parents should be held accountable for their kids Revolting.

One of the best charter schools in the country, Success Academy, just filed suit against the NYS Department of Education Commissioner Betty Rosa for no longer permitting the College Board from disclosing AP exam results from NYS schools.

For years, NYSED had permitted the College Board to share aggregate, non-personally identifying data on Advanced Placement (AP) exams with U.S. News & World Report, as 47 other states have also done, so that U.S. News could develop its national ranking of all public high schools. This year, Commissioner Rosa blocked the College Board from providing AP data to U.S. News preventing SA’s data from being released.

The AP exam disclosure is important as it plays a significant role in school rankings nationwide. Success Academy in previous years was ranked 11th in NYS and 9th in NYC last year, the highest of any school that does not have selective admissions. Without the AP data this year, Success Academy’s ranking dropped to 196th statewide and the school’s and its students extraordinary outperformance thereby has gone unrecognized.

Success Academy does not limit demanding AP coursework to a small, academically elite group — all of its students (who win admission by lottery) have access to challenging, college-level academic work. And they have produced exceptional AP results.

This year, more than 3,000 SA students took 7,810 AP examinations across 18 subjects—with an average pass rate of 68 percent. Nationally, fewer than 25 percent of high school students pass even one AP examination by the time they graduate.

At Success, 95 percent of its 2026 graduating class passed three or more AP examinations, 79 percent passed five or more, and 60 percent passed seven or more. They outperformed their New York and global peers on nine AP examinations, including U.S. and European History, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, and Literature.

Ask yourself why NYSED Commissioner Betty Rosa would choose to limit the release of student performance data on APs.

By doing so, she diminishes the performance of the best charter schools, masking the poor performance of NYS and NYC public schools, and limiting the recognition of Success’ and other great charter schools’ faculty and students.

The UFT teachers union recently sued Success Academy for ostensibly violating the Charter cap, which prevents Success, the largest NYC charter school operator, from opening new schools.

So here in America, the teachers union working with the NYSED is using litigation and concealment of data to prevent our kids from getting a better education and keep parents in the dark.

This should be a crime, and Betty Rosa should be ashamed of herself.

(I have cribbed sections of some of the language and data above from a letter from Success Academy’s Founder & CEO Eva Moskowitz. If X had footnotes I would have added them.)

Consider how carefully Mamdani wrote his post about 9/11. He chose ‘died’ instead of ‘murdered’ and the particular phraseology of the post because he must have been concerned about offending his base. There is no other credible explanation.

Think about that. Who is the base that he is concerned about offending?

What New Yorkers would be offended to calling out the terrorists and terrorism of 9/11?

Concerning.

The leader of ISIS had a doctorate. The second in command of al Qaeda during the Bin Laden era was a physician. That someone e is educated does not mitigate their ideological commitments.
