Weingarten For Chancellor Is A B.S. Story

Gossip columnist at the the Murdoch Post:

Bill de Blasio is considering hiring teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten as the next NYC schools chancellor, sources tell me.

Weingarten — who was head of the United Federation of Teachers in New York before becoming chief of the national American Federation of Teachers — is against charter schools, teacher evaluations and most of the other reforms Mayor Bloomberg enacted.

“She wants the job, and de Blasio’s people have been making calls, asking about Weingarten and testing the reaction,” said one well-placed source in the public education sector.

“The idea of putting a union chief in charge of a school system is mind-boggling,” said a political consultant. “It strains credulity that de Blasio would go that far.”

It's a b.s. story, of course, goes without saying.

It's just a Postie printing some crap he pulled straight out of his backside.

That said, one of the last people on earth I'd want running the school system is reform-friendly Randi Weingarten.

The truth is, Weingarten wouldn't want it either.

She'd have to give up the perks she gets at the AFT and submit to public scrutiny for her actions, business connections, etc.

No way she's doing that.
