Kathy Hochul Chooses Kids Over the Teachers’ Union
October 16, 2026 // Though most eligible students remain enrolled in public schools, the unions spent months running ads and organizing rallies against the program. They are plainly terrified of giving families the financial power to make educational decisions for their kids. Parents already have this power in the more than 30 states that offer some state-run school choice program. Until now, parents in New York did not. Thanks to Hochul, New York families will for the first time be able to decide for themselves the best way to educate their children. Catholic, Jewish, and other religious schools stand to benefit as well. This is the first program New York has allowed that helps cover the tuition in religious schools.

For an entity that cloaks itself in sanctimony for defending the rights of teachers, it seems very much that the welfare of average union members might not be the C-suite’s top priority.
