CONTROVERSIAL GROUP WINS 40 PERCENT OF NYC SCHOOL COMMITTEE SEATS

ADDING UP

Reporter

A polarizing group won nearly 40 percent of seats on New York City’s parent
councils today, pulling those councils rightward amid an ongoing debate over
integration and diversity in schools. Parent Leaders for Accelerated Curriculum
and Education (PLACE) won 115 seats on NYC’s community education councils (CECs)
according to results released Friday, ChalkBeat reported. The councils oversee
educational decisions including school zoning issues, which play a critical role
in how NYC’s school districts (which often have highly disparate racial and
economic makeups) are drawn. Ahead of the little-watched CEC election,
left-leaning parent groups accused PLACE of being a right-wing voice in the
culture wars, with its members promoting more openly far-right groups like Moms
for Liberty and comparing so-called “critical race theory” to Nazi teachings.
The group’s co-president called city schools an “oppressor woke environment
where DOE employees make them pledge allegiance to their LGBTQI+ religion.” One
of the group’s central platforms is endorsing school placement exams that
critics have claimed create an unfair barrier to students from disenfranchised
communities.

‘CATWOMAN’ SOCIALITE CLAIMS SHE’S BROKE DECADES AFTER $2.5B SETTLEMENT

HARD TIMES

CORBIN BOLIES

Media Reporter

Updated Jun. 18, 2023 4:19PM ET / Published Jun. 18, 2023 4:18PM ET 


MEGA/GC IMAGES

The 1990s socialite who settled her divorce for $2.5 billion—with subsequent
annual payments of $100 million for each year after—now claims she’s completely
broke after her late ex-husband’s family cut her off. Jocelyn Wildenstein, who
earned the nicknames “Catwoman” and the “Bride of Wildenstein” after numerous
plastic surgeries altered her image, says she’s using an upcoming HBO
documentary and an in-the-works reality series to tell her story and recoup some
of her lost earnings, which she was initially granted after claiming infidelity
during her divorce proceedings. When asked by The Times of London what her
income has been, particularly after filing for bankruptcy in 2018, she was
blunt: “zero—nothing in eight years.” “The documentary is her reply,” her fiancé
Lloyd Klein said. “Jocelyn wants to tell the story with her own voice.”

Mark Esper, former defense secretary under President Trump, has said that should
the allegations in the federal indictment against his boss be proven true, then
he cannot be trusted with the nation’s secrets. “Well, based on his actions, if
proven true, under the indictment by the special counsel, no,” Esper told CNN’s
State of the Union host Jake Tapper on Sunday when asked the question. “It’s
just irresponsible action that places our service members at risk, places our
nation’s securities at risk. You cannot have these documents floating around.
They need to be secured. We know how that happens. Only authorized persons that
are allowed to receive documents or receive information from documents. So we’ve
got to take this very seriously. These are serious issues.” Esper served as
Trump’s defense secretary from July 2019 through November 2020, when he was
fired by Trump by tweet following the 2020 election.
