“As with most decisions regarding children, they are best left in the hands of loving parents, skilled educators or trained experts – not executive orders and bureaucratic regulations made hundreds of miles away. Parents and educators of New York don’t need someone looking over their shoulder telling them how to raise and care for their kids. Let parents be parents, and let them make decisions that are best for their children.”
