That’s kind of an expensive, elitist, one-percenter university, isn’t it?

NBC New York reports.

Dante de Blasio to Attend Yale University

Mayor de Blasio’s son will be heading to Yale University this fall.

Dante de Blasio’s mother, Chirlane McCray, made the announcement Wednesday morning via Twitter. She wrote, “So excited for your next adventure, Dante. #bulldogs2019.”

She also posted a photo of her smiling son holding a Yale sweatshirt.

Dante, now 17, became a familiar face to New Yorkers during the stretch run of the 2013 mayoral campaign. His father, then the public advocate, had languished in fourth place for months leading up to that September’s Democratic primary.

But as some of the leading candidates — including City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and former congressman Anthony Weiner — saw their bids collapse, the de Blasio team put out an ad that changed the course of the campaign.

Bill de Blasio, a white man married to a black woman, had railed against what he deemed the overuse of stop and frisk, a police tactic that allowed officers to stop anyone they deemed suspicious. Its critics charged that it discriminated against black and Latino men.
