EDUCATE! ORGANIZE!! MOBILIZE!!!
Three pillars of The Resistance – providing information on current ed issues, organizing activities around fighting for public education in NYC and beyond and exposing the motives behind the education deformers. We link up with bands of resisters. Nothing will change unless WE ALL GET INVOLVED IN THE STRUGGLE!
You didn't lose it, Norm. You said what needed saying and I thank you for it. The teaching force is dominated by women and we are harrassed and bullied daily in the workplace but since our offenders are not always men and most offenses aren't titillating enough for high media ratings, our stories go untold. Bullying is about exerting control and making subordinates feel powerless. No one does that better than our dear old NYC DOE with the blessing of their UFT leadership enablers. I don't know how to unite teachers and beat the systemic and institutionalized bully behavior of the DOE but I know this much. When you repeatedly give the bully your lunch money the bully becomes both empowered and dissatisfied and wants more and more. When you bloody a bully's nose, he/she usually doesn't come your way again. When you have others willing to fight along side you, the bully doesn't stand a chance. Simple rules we learned as kids in a playground but can't seem to put into practice as a local union of 100,000 plus human beings. Roseanne McCosh

You Rock! Truly.
Wonderful!
Norm, You were at your best. Great moment.
The regressive left needs to fight these issues along class lines.
Stop age discrimination in the DOE.
Kudos! You told it like it is. Thank you, Norm.
