Washington Examiner by Brent Scher

The Democratic candidates for president have decided to ditch plans to participate in an education forum planned for later this month in Iowa, and the forum’s organizer says it is because the candidates fear backlash from teachers unions.

The forum was set to be hosted by the Seventy Four, a news organization launched earlier this year by Campbell Brown, an education reform advocate, to direct more attention towards critical education issues. It was going to be co-hosted by the Des Moines Register and the American Federation for Children….

With it being election season, Progressive candidates once again electing to stand with the teachers’ unions have refused to publicly go on record unless, it’s of course, to voice their support of teachers’ unions as Hillary Clinton did earlier this week when she accepted the endorsement of the pro-Common Core National Education Association.

Brown wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post earlier this year in support of Common Core while at the same time accusing Republican Party 2016 presidential primary candidates of pandering.

It is worth noting that in July, Brown, husband, Dan Senor, an adviser under George W. Bush administration, attended a fundraiser for brother, Jeb.

So what is the problem? Because it is darn sure not about the children.

Independent Sentinel

Bolshevik unionist Karen Lewis, president of the Chicago Public Schools teachers’ union, recently told teachers how to inculcate math instruction with social ideology. It’s not the first time. She wants to politicize everything as long as it’s far-left politicization. In the video below, she explained how a Progressive named Bob Peterson puts social justice propaganda into his math lessons in lieu of consumerism. “People always talk about how that there’s no politics and values in math. That you can teach math and there’s no place for social justice. So let me tell you how Bob deals with that,” Lewis […]

Students aka Scholars of Success Academy Charter School

Wall Street Journal

What a small and politically vicious man New York’s new mayor is. Bill de Blasio doesn’t like charter schools. They are too successful to be tolerated. Last week he announced he will drop the ax on three planned Success Academy schools. (You know Success Academy: It was chronicled in the film “Waiting for Superman.” It’s one of the charter schools the disadvantaged kids are desperate to get into.) Mr. de Blasio has also cut and redirected the entire allotment for charter facility funding from the city’s capital budget….

See why the success of charters schools; namely, Success Academy is such a threat to ideologues.

The de Blasio administration has reversed three charter school co-locations that would have allowed Eva Moskowitz’s Success Academies to expand, even as it implements the vast majority of co-locations approved by the Bloomberg administration last fall.

Of the 45 co-location proposals that the Department of Education decided on today, including 19 charter schools and 26 district schools, just nine were reversed. All three of the charter-related reversals involved Success Academies.

Six district school co-locations were also reversed. The 45 proposals affect about 4,500 children….

The teachers’ union and de Blasio would say that it is all for the children, it is not. Bill de Blasio has a personal vendetta against Michael Bloomberg, Eva Moskowitz, founder of Success Academy and charter schools in general, all of whom are despised by UFT president, Michael Mulgrew and his membership.

Translation: The teacher’s union supported Sandinista Bill under the agreement that if elected, he would decimate charter schools.

Start by decimating the strongest, the best, and the schools that show the most promise and work your way down from there until all that remains are the devastated minds of youth are in shambles….

Pennsylvania union fights bill requiring kids to learn about the Holocaust

Hitting an all-time low in our educational institutions are those fighting tooth and nail to keep our children in the dark as to atrocities committed against mankind; namely, by the Communist Party.

Case in point, the Pennsylvania State Education Association is standing in the way of a proposed legislation that would mandate the education of public school children, grades six through 12 on Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, human rights violations and genocide.

The teacher’s union, however, would beg to differ.

EAG NEWS

…It would require schools to teach about ‘the history of the Holocaust, including the Third Reich dictatorship, concentration camp system, persecution of Jews and non-Jews, Jewish and non-Jewish resistance and post-World War II trials.’

Genocide, human rights violations and ‘the abridgement of civil rights’ would be included topics, as well.

This is all apparently too much for the teachers union, which, at the same time, conveniently provides numerous labor history lesson plans and materials on its website….
