Why does Gavin Newsom back terrible policies? Because he’s rich enough to avoid the consequences

California Gov. Gavin Newsom sure knows how to live: He’s relocating his family from Sacramento to Marin County so his oldest daughter can attend a $60,000-a-year private school. 

Don’t worry, though: Good-Time Gavin has deigned to remain part-time in Cali’s capital.

Too bad. If Newsom went absentee, there’d be no one left to shepherd through the terrible policies that are ruining California.

Like, for example, a law taking effect in July that will make it impossible for schools to suspend middle and high school kids who act out by talking back to teachers and disrupting class.

Guaranteed to cause yet more chaos in public schools — but hey, Gavin’s kids won’t be affected.

He did the same thing during the pandemic, remember: He sent his kids to a private school that was open for in-person learning while most public schools remained shuttered.
