A student in Queens, New York somehow got the personal phone number of Mayor Eric Adams and extended an invitation to the mayor to attend a walkout protest at his school.
The student, 17-year-old Halima Ait Elhoussine, texted Adams that her friends participating in the protest “need you here.” The students say they are protesting alleged racism on the part of their principal, Vivian Selenikas, who they claim “forced” Assistant Principal Tanya Bloomfield, a black woman, to resign.
The mayor didn’t seem to be too amused by the protest – or his invitation to attend.
“Children should be in school,” Adams wrote back to the teen. “You can protest after school hours.”
He added that if they want to effectuate change, they should “ask for a meeting with the chancellor. Walking out [won’t] solve anything.”
The teenager says she obtained Adams’ cell phone number at an event during the summer, though it’s not clear which event it was or why she got his number.

Big deal:-
1) Bibi Netanyahu gave out hus personal # and made his # public knowledge
2) All that Eric Adams has to do, is have his phone company change his #.
Where’s the proof? This is totally falsifiable.
It’s almost like Mayer LaGuardia going to cousin Lemel’s Bar Mitzva

It’s a very big deal to have to update his number with everyone he knows. Unless he’s using iMessage with his email.
