Weingarten forces Duncan to add third stop on visit to NYC

National teachers union boss Randi Weingarten was so peeved about U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's itinerary in New York Tuesday that she got it changed.

His original schedule included only Public School 65 and Kings Collegiate Charter School in Brooklyn, where he's slated to promote $700 million in federal "Race to the Top" funds.

Because of prior battles with PS 65's principal, sources said, Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, demanded the feds also add a Weingarten-approved public school to Duncan's list.

Reps for Obama's education czar were in frantic negotiations with union officials all day yesterday.



Not that it will make Duncan have more of a clue...
