Jointly authored criticism of NYC’s September 2 policy. They support the younger-grade ban but want current high-school pilots postponed pending assessment. This is one joint statement with two authors, not a response to the later Microsoft announcement.
Why we used this label
Rejects the current rollout. The co-authored statement is shared with Gonzalez’s record, not a second independent comment.
