The mayor has spent the past two days talking smack about teachers, scolding his potential successors running for mayor that teachers should in no way be given retroactive raises for the years they have gone without a contract.
This two day campaign the mayor has embarked upon, continued on his radio program today on WOR, got me thinking that he's going to use Bloomberg Philanthropies as a propaganda tool against teachers in NYC long after he's gone from office (and perhaps even long after he's gone from this mortal coil...foundations have a longer life than their founders...)
Take a look around the glossy new Bloomberg Philanthropies site and see what you think.
Will Bloomberg continue to hammer NYC teachers long after he leaves City Hall and use Bloomberg Philanthropies to do it?
Will he punish a successor who doesn't follow his wishes on teacher contracts, evaluations, school closures, etc. by using his PAC against her/him the way he has for pols who do not support gun control?
Will Bloomberg, one tiny man with an ego so large and fragile that he needs to put his name on everything he owns, continue to have such an undue and enormous influence on education policy, schools, students and teachers simply because he's got more money than almost everybody else?
