Surprise! I was recently elected to fill an open seat on CEC1 - NYC's version of a school board. After dodging jury duty this morning, I joined this lunch where I met my school ... I'm so excited to rep @UNMSRocks & serve on CEC1. 💜@cecd1nyc @District1NYC

I'm a proud product of New York City Public Schools. I've had wonderful teachers who helped deepen my appreciation and respect for diverse cultures. Antisemitism, and in fact, all forms of hate have no place in our public schools.
