And the victims of city crime are predominantly black: In 2020, black New Yorkers, just 24% of the overall population, were 65% of murder victims \u2014 a disparity that repeats year after year.<\/p>\n<p>Skyrocketing crime here, driven by Albany\u2019s insane criminal-justice \u201creforms,\u201d is a crisis for black New Yorkers. <\/p>\n<p>Activists and protesters turned out in force for months after the murder of George Floyd. Where\u2019s their outrage today? Their demands for justice? The silence is deafening.<\/p>\n<p>On education, the mayor is showing similar courage. On the way out the door, his predecessor put in motion the end of New York City\u2019s Gifted and Talented programs. But Adams and Chancellor David Banks instead just announced their <em>expansion <\/em>citywide.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GandTRally.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"John Chen, a Chairperson of the Coalition of Asian Americans for Civil Rights (CAACR), speaks at a rally outside of the DOE Headquarters at 53 Chambers street in Manhattan against cuts to gifted and talented programs in NYC school system proposed by mayor NYC Bill de Blasio.\" class=\"wp-image-21909281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GandTRally.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GandTRally.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GandTRally.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mayor Eric Adams has the right idea to restore the Gifted and Talented program after former Mayor Bill de Blasio axed it.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Stephen Yang<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The aim, says Adams, is to give \u201cevery child, in every zip code, a fair chance and making sure no child is left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Excellent. Bill de Blasio\u2019s absurd justification for killing G&amp;T was the low numbers of black and Hispanic students in the programs.

Of course not. Comptroller Brad Lander repeated the tired argument that entry requirements for G&amp;T programs \u201clead to racial segregation.\u201d (Funny: Such worries didn\u2019t stop him from sending his own kid to a public high school with a rigorous academic screening process.)<\/p>\n<p>Fighting crime and improving access to high-quality schools will help the vulnerable in New York. The progressive agenda \u2014 freeing even dangerous offenders and shutting down educational opportunity \u2014 harms them.<\/p>\n<p>The mayor gets this; too many other Democrats don\u2019t.
