NYC Educator says if Weingarten, Bloomberg and Wolfson don't like de Blasio, there may be something to him.
I think he makes a good point.
Diane Ravitch made some good points in her endorsement of de Blasio as well.
Let's see - Ravitch for, Weingarten/Wolfson/Bloomberg against.
Hmm, which side am I on...
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend". So simple and so true. Bill D for mayor!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I also want to partner with libertarians and Tea Partiers against Common Core. We can have our other battles later - let's take on the common enemy in common cause first!
DeleteGreat post. I was actually thinking about this today.
ReplyDeleteWho knows what de Blasio will be like if he becomes mayor, but, at this point who IS against de Blasio tells a lot.
If I may add to your list of de Blasio non-supporters...
Tisch, Ray Kelly, Walcott, Moskowitz, Pakolow-Suransky, the rich, and certainly King.
That Thompson has pro-privatization Tisch in his corner ain't a good thing for me, as a public school teacher, also.
Yup.
DeleteTisch = death knell for Thompson to me. No way I could support him. Doesn't matter what Randi and Mikey say.
You know I have supported Thompson all along as I believe he would be the best candidate for teachers. However, after hearing, seeing, and experiencing many of the Bloomberg policies I am switching my allegiance to DeBlasio. I still think Thompson is the one to beat as I have never thought that Quinn could survive term limts. But I must confess with Diane Ravitch supporting DeBlasio that has turned my support.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear it. Ravitch;s endorsement won over at least one vote.
DeleteI bet you're not alone in that department. I bet there will be more teachers who decide if Ravitch is supporting de Blasio and Weingarten, Tisch and Mulgrew are supporting Thompson, they're going to go with de Blasio.
