Teachers Unions Say Silver Arrest Has Little Effect On Them

Buried in the Jessica Bakeman Capital NY piece about the Sheldon Silver arrest and the effect on education policy is this:

Teachers' unions that were expecting a difficult session even with Silver’s support said his arrest wouldn’t impact their ability to fight for their priorities.

In short,they figure they're losing no matter whether Silver's there or not.

Great.

    Well, we know they're lying to us, but are they so out of touch that they're actually lying to themselves?

    That's like saying forgetting your bulletproof vest won't impact you during a gun fight. I hope they are assuming the opposite of what you figure - that we will win whether Silver is there or not.
