## Key points

- Kalshi plans to fund EverFi with more than $7 million over three years.
- EverFi lessons are used in more than 100 New York City schools.
- The article urges the city to keep Kalshi out of schools.

## Summary

The opinion piece argues that New York City should block Kalshi from becoming involved in lessons delivered in public schools through its partnership with education company EverFi. It says the deal risks bringing a betting-adjacent business into schools without meaningful parent or community involvement, potentially undermining trust in the education system.

Kalshi is set to provide more than $7 million over three years to EverFi, whose financial education materials are used in more than 100 city schools. The article cites survey data saying more than half of prediction-market bettors use credit cards or loans to fund bets, and nearly 90% of that group lose money. It also notes Kalshi’s $3 million donation to a health centre and a state lawsuit against the company, and calls on Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels to prevent the partnership reaching students.
