Good Morning

Yesterday, Dr. Howard Fuller, Derrell Bradford, Darrell Allison, and Kevin Chavous led a media conference call following the astonishing attack on families and education reform advocates by AFT President Randi Weingarten.

Weingarten has been under fire from parents and education reformersnationwide. The negative media coverage for Weingarten has been piling up with more news stories and editorials today. She’s clearly crossed a line. Despite that, she and her allies aren’t changing their tune and are digging a deeper hole.
