NYC Councillor Scraps Gifted Programs; Delta Plane Collision Injures; Trump Leads Murphy in NJ Poll
Councillor Zohran Mamdani is set to shake up New York City's education system. Starting next fall, he plans to scrap gifted-and-talented programs in public kindergartens, citing segregation concerns. Meanwhile, former Mayor Adams' sports czar, Jasmine Ray, is sharing her story in a self-published memoir, detailing her relationship with a politician named Eric, who's facing an FBI probe. In political news, Donald Trump's approval rating in New Jersey has surpassed Gov. Phil Murphy's, according to a new poll. And in a dramatic incident, two Delta planes collided on a LaGuardia runway, causing injuries and damage.
Mamdani, who represents Queens, believes the gifted programs contribute to school segregation. He argues that they disproportionately benefit wealthy, white students. Starting next fall, these programs will be replaced with a universal screening process for all kindergarteners. Mamdani's move has drawn support from recent transplants who switched their voter registration to vote in NYC.
In a surprising turn of events, two Delta pilots crashed their planes into each other on a LaGuardia runway. The incident injured one flight attendant and damaged both aircraft. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the collision.
In the political sphere, a new Emerson College poll shows Donald Trump with a 41% approval rating in New Jersey, outpacing Gov. Phil Murphy's 35%. This comes as Trump continues to make headlines in his potential 2024 presidential run.
Jasmine Ray, Mayor Adams' former sports czar, is adding her voice to the political scene with a self-published memoir. While she doesn't name the politician involved, she writes about her relationship with a figure named Eric, who's currently under FBI investigation.
Mamdani's education reform aims to address segregation in NYC schools, drawing support from recent transplants. A dramatic plane collision at LaGuardia has raised safety concerns, with investigations underway. In politics, Trump's higher approval rating in New Jersey could signal shifts in public opinion, while Ray's memoir adds a personal perspective to political intrigue.
