ADAMS STANDS WITH PARENTS

Eric Adams has again proved he will not be the second coming of Mayor Putz.

A Democrat likely to be elected next month, Adams broke with incumbent Bill de Blasio Friday when he said he would not scrap Gifted and Talented programs.

Asked on CNN whether he would eliminate them, as de Blasio urges, Adams replied, “No, I would not, I would expand the opportunities for accelerated learning.”

That’s music to the ears of tens of thousands of parents who keep their children in public schools because of those programs. It’s also the right answer because children with above-average abilities deserve special attention, just as do children who are below average or have disabilities.
