If you’ve always wanted to study under the tutelage of Bill de Blasio, now’s your chance.
And what’s more, it might just boost your health.
Fox News reported that Bill, a former mayor of New York City, will be teaching at Harvard University starting in the fall. Bill will be commanding a classroom in the Ivy League institution’s schools of government and public health.
De Blasio, a Democrat who served as mayor from 2014 to 2021, will take part in “a variety of discussions, events, and programming” at the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School and will teach classes on leadership and public service at the Harvard T.H. Separate announcements were made Wednesday by De Blasio and the Chan School of Public Health.
…
“We are thrilled to welcome Mayor de Blasio and [former acting mayor of Boston, Kim Janey] to campus as Menschel Senior Leadership Fellows,” Dean Michelle A. Williams said.
Williams claimed that the two officials were dealing with health crises such as COVID-19 and homelessness.
“Their insights and their mentorship will be tremendously helpful to students who aspire to public office, as well as to those who are looking to lead in other sectors,” she said.
It’s an interesting choice. Bill might have seen managerial growth during the past year.
In August of 2020, he had to wave a white flag over housing the homeless in previously-unoccupied hotels. Here is my reportage at that time
At 79th Street’s Lucerne — home of the 300 addicts — resident Angel Ortiz assured [the New York Post], “[W]hatever drug you can imagine is done there.”
A second resident called in:
“They shoot up, sniff up, crack, (synthetic marijuana) K2, everything.”
A third pointed out, “You got drunks — you got violent drunks.”
…
Across the street, a restaurant owner complained that homeless drunken arguments are chasing away his customers.
“Screaming? It’s not necessary. It’s like a jungle. They get drunk, and they start fighting.”
Michele McDowall, Nanny Michele, recalled an offer that she was offered while walking a baby before a large Upper West Side Inn.
“You want to buy crack?”

Bill eventually had to stop the project, although they did give it their all.
De Blasio had other ideas regarding criminals. In March 2020, De Blasio freed a third among a thousand prisoners who were most likely to die from COVID.
After more than 1100 city prisoners were released, he was stunned to find that they had resorted to new criminal acts.
“I think it’s unconscionable — just on a human level — that folks were shown mercy, and this is what some of them have done. We’re going to just keep buckling down on it, making sure there’s close monitoring and supervision to the maximum step possible. And the NYPD is going to keep doing what they’re doing.”
Per my coverage that July, he bragged about the city’s empty jails:
Bill’s [describes] a New York City in which far fewer of its lawbreakers are in jail: “safer.”
Mayor [celebrated]Thursday saw a spike in crime, and there were a surprising number of retired cops. …
“We now have fewer people in our jails than any time since WWII, and we are safer for it and better for it.”
To further enhance public health, that June, NYC issued the Corona Sutra — a six-point guide called Safer Sex and COVID-19.
Its most innovative advice?
Use your creativity to overcome physical and sexual barriers As wallsThese devices allow for sexual contact but prevent close contact with the person.

Back to Bill’s new public health teaching gig, former NYPD officer Paul Mauro had a curious response to the news. Paul shared the news with America’s Newsroom:
“I thought it was a parody when I saw it. I mean, what’s it going to teach you about? Lateness? You know, to me, this is like hiring the coach from a last-place team.”
“And full disclosure,” he added, “I was up there. I’m a graduate of The Kennedy School. … [T]They have great people and amazing professors. I don’t expect Bill de Blasio to be among them.”
