Watching Andrew Yang crisscross New York and mix it up with his Democratic rivals in the mayoral race, I am reminded of an observation by the great columnist Murray Kempton.

The United Federation of Teachers, which has radiated contempt for New York City's school kids throughout the pandemic, just endorsed city Comptroller Scott Stringer for mayor.
