Why are INVESTIGATIVE journalists so afraid to investigate Tisch? Everyone is afraid of her. King is just doing her bidding. If he had a real original thought (not likely), it would not happen without her permission. There is soooo much more to this story. I think Tisch is controlling the journalists..maybe she has connections to the heads of all of these important publications and journalists are told lay off the real story. The real story is MONEY. Her money specifically. She has personally paid for setting up these fellows..said it herself in the paper “what’s not to like about free fellows?” and has virtually wiped out (pushed out or let go) anyone in the SED who had knowledge of actual issues affecting NYS Education. Then somehow miraculously..these same fellows (most without any public teaching experience themselves) have been ushered into these high paying state positions that she cleared the way for. Do you actually think King has the power to do all that? As said above..he doesn’t even have the true qualifications to be a school superintendent in this state. The fact that his children do not go to public school when they live in one of the highest ranking public school systems in Upstate NY makes me think that no public school is good enough for him and his family. Montessori all the way. This is a slap in the face to all of us parents with kids in the public schools (paying his salary) who are subjected to this unproven, nonsense Common Core. You don’t implement something so huge and then have forums to discuss it. If it wasn’t so serious this would be one big joke of how NOT to run a huge state agency. And then of course…what are Tisch’s connections to all of the other money…Pearson, Gates, InBloom,etc……..it all comes back to her.
I'm sure the newspapers and news outlets that are owned by Tisch family cronies like Sulzberger, Zuckerman, Murdoch and Bloomberg (NY Times, NY Daily News, US News, NY Post, Wall Street Journal, FOX News, FOX Business, Bloomberg News, Bloomberg Radio, Bloomberg TV, Bloomberg Views and Bloomberg Businessweek) will get right on that investigation of their fellow plutocrat on the cocktail circuit, Merryl Tisch.
I'm sure the Assembly will look into it as well, with Shelly Silver's chief of staff married to the crook who Tisch appointed to run a Jewish charity who is now accused of stealing millions from under her nose.
Yeah, I'm sure the media and political establishment will get right on holding this woman accountable for her crimes.
It's all politics. King does work under her and does her bidding. That's why I couldn't support Thompson.
ReplyDeleteIf King does resign, it will be with another job in hand that either she or Cuomo got for him so it doesn't look like he left in disgrace. Although the guy from Rochester had no problems finding a new job with Rahm. But he got thrown out a 2nd time.
What a fantastic piece for the New Yorker! The incestuous political world of Meryl Tisch, Joel Klein, Shelly Silver, Mike Bloomberg ........
ReplyDeletePressure must remain relentless to make certain King John resigns in embarrassment. They almost succeeded in pulling this fraud off. It is essential that educators take back their profession from the corporatists.
ReplyDeleteI hope that no one is going to hold their breath waiting for any of this to happen.
ReplyDeleteThings don't happen--people make things happen. Keep fighting--it is worth it to take back your profession.
ReplyDeleteTisch and Silver, ahhh Sodom and Gomorrah, political debauchery at every point throughout NYS.
ReplyDelete"Tisch family cronies like Sulzberger"
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean? What is the connection between Tisch and Sulzberger?
