The councilman's «New Deal» agenda includes a plan for youth employment, which Williams said would require an additional $ 100 million out of the city's $ 85.6 billion budget; free mental health counseling in communities of color, due to the stigmatization of mental health in those communities; free SAT
prep classes and community college
tuition; and further expanding the city's Crisis Management System.
Citizens stuck in blue states like California now have no recourse to escape the failed test
prep approach other than to get their children into private schools — and if they lack the resources to pay for
tuition a second time (since they still must pay taxes for the second
class teaching their local state schools are dispensing), their children will be doomed to fall behind the international competition, since that is a consequence of the second missed opportunity of the past decade, the Common Core standards that doom American children to fall 2 - 3 years behind their peers in Asia and northern Europe by the time they finish high school.
