A lot of people are expressing doubt about the upcoming UFT election. Should I vote for Mulgrew? Should I vote for MORE? They haven't even proposed a candidate, and who can sit around waiting for something like that? It's always tough to make important decisions like those. That's why it's so important for us to have another alternative, someone who isn't sociopathic or megalomaniacal, somene who isn't making backdoor deals, someone who not only won't punch your face out for opposing Common Core, but also someone who wouldn't remotely consider opposing Opt-out... I wasn't going to make an endorsement so early, but I know the field,
and I think it's time we broaden it. We need a leader who won't sell us
out for political expedience. We need a leader who we can count on and
trust. We need a leader who won't take any crap from the likes of Cuomo,
Flanagan, or whatever tinhorn politician comes down the pike.
.....NYC Educator, Julio 2016
While I'm not happy that NYC Educator
endorsed his dog Julio for UFT president rather than opening things up to a democratic process where a cat would have a chance, I will defer even though I am pissed I hadn't thought of throwing one of my cats into the ring first. It makes prefect sense to me given that I consider UFT elections a basic farce and have been urging people to boycott. But now that we have as viable a candidate as I've seen I have to rethink my position. I'm adding Bernice and Penny Lane to the Julio slate for UFT officer positions.

| Bernice for Secretary |

| Penny Lane for Treasurer |
UPDATE: Lauren Cohen and Mike Schirtzer add their dogs to slate.
You are watering down Julio's chances by throwing your own pets in the ring. Shame on you!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you for running on the Julio slate. We appreciate your endorsement, and Julio approves of your choices, though he admits to some suspicion. Unlike Peppi and Emmi, he has never seen them around the dog park. However, Julio cross endorses both of your picks.

DeleteI hereby enter my Amazon parrot Luigi into the race. By far the most qualified and intelligent candidate. He won't punch you in the face since he has wings. He can bite very savagely and would be fantastic in contract negotiations. Plus he signs in green.
