A "You've Got To Be Kidding Me!" Moment

Linda sent me a note with the following video attached.  She wrote: This was a definite "you've got to be kidding me" moment!  Since Linda is in Greenville this weekend, she asked me to post the following Youtube clip of retired NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin.  After viewing this clip, there is very little that needs to be said about the NEA’s priorities, except that it is definitely not children!

  1. Every parent that sends their child to public schools needs to hear this one. OMG!

  2. Wow! They have so much power, they don't have to worry about making statements like that. Unbelievable!

  3. Did that guy just say "closing achievement gaps, reducing the drop-out rate and improving teacher quality must not be achieved at the expense of collective bargaining - that would be too high a price" ?!?!?!

    Just.....wow.

    I hope you don't mind if I post this video on my own blog someday, Linda and Arby. When I can pick my jaw up off the floor, perhaps.

  4. Deb, we highly encourage you to post this Youtube clip on your blog. Spread the message far and wide! After you pick up your jaw off the floor, of course.
