The "reporter" for Channel 2 said there were "two sides" to the "LIFO debate"; he represented E4E as "one side". I was quite taken aback when the E4E teachers were portrayed as ones who were full time NYC teachers but are now "part time" and devote their time to "the cause" via Educators for Excellence, and are doing this as volunteers. Nary a whisper about the fact that E4E is funded by Gates. I also happened to watch "All the President's Men". I now remember what journalism was like under a truly much more democratic, transparent government. Yes, even Nixon was subject to and answered to the constitution.Ms. Tsourishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978868613223436958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-58270795135541338242011-02-16T07:11:38.110-05:002011-02-16T07:11:38.110-05:00Thank you, RBE, for correctly pointing out that no...Thank you, RBE, for correctly pointing out that not everyone is "on the mayor's payroll."<br /><br />But if you're an opportunistic dilettante, professing concern for "our kids," while dismantling their school system, then you probably are.Michael Fiorillonoreply@blogger.com
