NextImg:The UFT’s Mamdani endorsement: Letters to the Editor — July 10, 2025

In choosing Zohran Mamdani, the UFT has shown it accepts the whole package of what he stands for — including Jew hatred and government seizure of private property (“Lefty UFT endorses radical Mamdani,” July 9).

If anything, this action calls for school choice: To give parents the option of placing their children in schools that actually teach the basics, rather than political indoctrination.

In the past, any communist or fascist would have to seize power by force of arms. In today’s New York City, it turns out all a communist has to do is offer the United Federation of Teachers a raise.

I am ashamed of my union for doing this. This endorsement came from a meeting of the union’s Delegate Assembly, apparently made up of leftist, antisemitic communists.

How could the UFT endorse a Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions advocate who refuses to acknowledge Holocaust Remembrance and is rumored to make Jamaal Bowman, an anti-Israel poor imitation of a human being, the next chancellor of New York City schools?

To protest this outrage, I am asking my fellow UFT colleagues to withdraw from giving to COPE, a financial political action group of the UFT.

Mass insanity at New York City’s teachers union overcomes intelligence. The UFT is blind to Mamdani’s threat to our fragile democracy.

I was taken aback when I read in The Post that the United Federation of Teachers voted to endorse antisemite Mamdani for New York City mayor. How support of Mamdani helps the city’s public schools is lost on me, or any thinking person for that matter.

However, on reflection, I remembered that this was the teachers union that denounced the attempts by parents to control what was taught to their children.

This rabble organization of teachers cares not for the betterment of students, but only for paychecks and pensions.

So, the UFT has endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor. As teachers, how stupid can they possibly be for backing a snake-oil salesman?

I’ll bet a boatload of chalk that these teachers will tell their students to tell their parents to vote for Mamdani.

The election is less than four months away; there’s still time to pack up and leave New York for good.

In theory, the new political party proposed by Elon Musk as a third alternative could be a great divider with just a few wins in the House and Senate (“Get Real, Elon,” Glenn Harlan Reynolds, July 8).

The problem, however, is that the basis of this party seems to be both spite and an attempt to gain power over President Trump.

A rival party is not a positive idea, and thus it might be better for Musk to step away and spend his time and money on solving one of the world’s many problems.

It appears Elon Musk wants to create a new national political party as revenge due to President Trump and the Republican Party no longer being his puppets and passing the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Musk should go back to the country where he was born — which is not the United States — to create his new political party.
