Weingarten and Sharpton, Perfect Together

Joining him will be Randi Weingarten; Lee Sanders, President of AFCEME; Arlene Holt Baker, of the AFL-CIO and "many more". So here's a supporter of union busting charters being supported by unions. You really can't make this stuff up.

Would MLK support the charter school movement as it creates a dual school system of educational apartheid? And the UFT gave Sharpton 50 Grand (does anyone really think that means social justice unionism?). So whose side are they really on?

This came from a contact in Philadelphia

Norm: Thought you might want to know that the "special guest speaker" at this year's MLK birthday celebration at Independence Mall in Philadelphia on January 19th will be the pro-charter, hedge fund supported Rev. Al Sharpton.
