Diane Ravitch on Arthur Goldstein

Arthur, Thank you for a brilliant review of my book! It means a lot to me that a teacher in the trenches likes it and thought I hit a bullseye.

Spreadsheet on the votes in the 2004 and 2007 UFT elections

See how New Action received less votes than ICE-TJC in '07 but were handed 8 seats on the Executive Board due to Unity backing. ICE-TJC has no seats.

A word about Ednotes

If we don't link readers over to Ednotes all the time, it's because blog author Norm Scott, one of the 20 or 25 founding members of ICE, puts up new posts two or three times a day.

Whatever he says over there is relevant and most probably in sync with the ICE agenda.

Why only most probably? Because the ICE caucus is what its name says: a group of independent educators who think generally along the same progressive lines when it comes to education and union activity.

Scott's knowledge of the NYC ed world is comprehensive, and we're grateful for his insight, quick wit, and tireless blitzkrieg on the shortcomings of Unity caucus.

ICE CONTRACT GOALS 2009

Follow this link to view what we think the union should be fighting for.

The November 2008 ATR rally debacle

The November 2008 ATR rally debacle
View Norm Scott's videos Part I here and Part II here of the rally Weingarten and her Unity lackeys sabotaged a year ago down at Tweed. Instead of meeting up with the protesters as planned, Weingarten invited all the ATRs down to UFT HQ for an "informational" wine-and-cheese party at exactly the same time.

They even directed people getting off the subway at Tweed to walk down to 52 Broadway instead.

See Michael Mulgrew speaking at UFT HQ at 4:25 p.m. while the rest of us were protesting BloomKlein's brutality.

This is not union leadership. It is playing games with our careers and livelihood.

Protesting the Charter School invasion at PS 123 in Manhattan

To Borough Prez Scott Stringer:
"If the public schools had been properly funded, do you think we'd be dealing with charter schools? I'd like you to address that."


Protesting the charter school invasion at PS 160 in the Bronx

"You cannot say put charter schools where public schools are failing, because [BloomKlein is] CAUSING them to fail!"
