Directly funding class size reduction in New York City would reduce funding equity.
Funding it through an equitable formula would mitigate some of this harm, but would cost a lot more.

Hey, Litigation Disaster Tourists!
Musk went and did it. He filed the SLAPP suit against Media Matters. This thing will likely rival the Trump election suits for frivolity so let's read it together, why don't we?
