Issue: Mayor Adams and I will propose more unwilling treatment to resolve the crisis of mental instability.
Mayor Adams is 100% correct on this issue (“committed with compassion,” Mayor Eric Adams, April 11).
We have hundreds of thousands of criminally crazy people sleeping on the streets across America. Adding the number of criminally insane people foreign countries dumped into the US when Democrats opened their borders, President Trump is facing another major crisis that requires urgent attention.
Federal hospitals with mental disabilities should be needed in large cities to combat this.

We've seen a “owner” wigmaker kill someone and a man with a flesh rift injured a child. And the man randomly attacked the woman with a broken bottle, regardless of the 36 mental health hearings.
The lack of control over these situations highlights important factors that appear to be ignored. As a society, we must stop this notion that crimes committed by people with mental disabilities should be forgiven because they are not controlled. This concept makes it much easier for a true villain to play the system.

The madman with 36 mental health and criminal history was allowed to roam freely and head young women. There's no surprise. That kind of thing happens too often.
When is enough enough? The radical Albany Congress needs to allow for more unwilling commitments. These insanity belong to hospital care, or, if necessary, prison.

Why are Democrats so determinedly in New York, especially in protecting the rights of victims?
Every day there are news articles driving around that point. One day, as soon as possible, Dems must realize that there is no future in that way.

It's time to bring people with mentally ill illness into the facility.
It seems like prisons are not an answer again and again. These people are released and commit crimes again.

Issue: Mayor Adams' plan to hire 3,700 teachers in accordance with New York's class-wide law.
In yet another fiasco in mismanagement of public education in New York City, Mayor Adams will help hire 3,700 new teachers (Edited by The Class-Size Con, April 11).
All of these are for school systems where registrations are declining and failing to educate children. Of course, this is actually yet another reward for the teachers' union.
If New York was serious about providing quality education, three things will happen. It grants charter schools more licenses, works with the Archdiocese of New York to restore and reopen parochial schools, and rebuild the Department of Education while instilling competent leadership and standards of excellence.

Reducing class sizes and adding 3,700 new teachers are a way of a teacher coalition to fill empty classrooms that will no longer be available at charter schools.
The score increases and parental involvement increases only if welfare payments are linked to the test score. In my 50 years of experience, nothing else has worked.
Don't pay attention to UFT. It represents the needs of adults, not the needs of children. That's the job of DOE and it stinks on it.
