Today, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and Parks Commissioner Tricia Shimamura announced the launch of NYC Parks’ first-ever Parents’ Night Out, a free, one-night drop-off program that gives parents and caregivers the opportunity to enjoy an evening to themselves while children participate in supervised fun at select NYC Parks recreation centers across the five boroughs.

You’d have to torture me in very brutal ways before I’d contemplate something like this, but leaving that aside, what kind of a kid would agree to participate? A very young child would be terrified. A kid my daughter’s age wouldn’t want to go if her friends aren’t there.

The gay dude is childless, so I understand that he doesn’t get it, but I’m pretty certain Shimamura has children.

      Strangers who are probably getting a bonus for each kid they’re managing to refer to some transing service.

      Anyone who uses this program is probably entitled to a bit of scrutiny from CSP (yes, I know how awful they can be, but… what else is there?)

    small towns offer programs like this at the Y or Rec center. I don’t know who uses it though.

      In a small town where you know everybody, yes. The owner of our local Kids Gym offers this service, but we all know him. We know his family. These are not strangers appointed by a greasy deviant from Uganda. And by the way, I’m not saying that he’s deviant because he’s gay.

    The idea that a parent would simply drop off his or her child at a designated space as if it were a parcel is quite bizarre in and by itself.

    Does Mamdani think that simply because it’s run by the New York City administration, it’s guaranteed to provide high-quality service? Who does he think he is?

      Exactly. This is a persistent problem with liberals. They perceive humans as objects with no agency or will. This is yet another grift for unemployable hijabis who want to siphon off even more public money.
