Well, off to Bikram hot yoga for the 2nd day in a row. When I get back I will post the stuff on Eva Moskowitz continuing attempt to take over an entire middle school building in my old district - we used to have 6 middle school buildings. Eva pretty much has one of them already and within a few years she will have this other one by growing her school so far into the space of the public school they won't survive in that building. And with the cooperation of the de Blasio/Farina/Mulgrew team I predict they will eventually move MS 50 out of the building and leave it to Eva, who chose that building expressly to push it out.

thanks a lot .... I have a real appetite for this
Weingarten was a trojan horse for neo liberal policies in the uft. Remember her defense of charter schools at the DA.
