Giuliani: It's the Teachers Union's Fault

If only we had charter$$, voucher$$$ and incentive pay.

Who knew. (BTW, we... in NYC.... already have charters, and I believe incentive pay is in the new contract. Not sure where we are w. vouchers , but if recent trends are any indication, TPTB will see to it that vouchers are not far off.)

Man.... those teachers and their fucking unions. With their secret meetings and plans for world-domination. Have they NO sense of decency? "At long LAST!"

>>>He then turned his fire on teachers unions, claiming they are to blame for the problem of poor schools in black neighborhoods.

“Maybe all these left-wing politicians that want to blame police, maybe there’s some blame here that has to go to the teachers union, for refusing to have, for refusing to have schools where teachers are paid for performance, for fighting charter schools, for fighting vouchers, so we can drastically and dramatically improve the education situation. Maybe they should be talking about and holding rallies about the problem of black fathers taking care of the children they fathered,” he said.

Nonetheless, he conceded that police need retraining in courtesy, and that the continued troubles blacks face are a result of historic injustice.

“All of this I don’t see as racial. This is all a product of the terrible things that happened what someone called I think was the biggest sin in American history, was slavery,” Mr. Giuliani said.

Similar comments from Mr. Giuliani in the last few weeks have drawn sharp criticism.>>>>>

but that's only because Giuliani actually had a job for a while, not because of any particular wisdom.
