Howie Hawkins, Brian Jones, and Where they Stand on Public Education

Yesterday the PJSTA hosted an approximate 50 people who came out to hear gubernatorial candidate Howie Hawkins speak.  Hawkins, the Green Party candidate endorsed by the PJSTA, is the only pro-public education candidate in the election.

  2. Meanwhile Cuomo has declared war on public schools and public school teachers.

    He will “strengthen” teacher evaluations in his second term so that there are “sanctions.”

    He wants to break the “monopoly” public schools have and unfetter the free market (i.e., get rid of the charter cap.)

    It’s going to be an all-out assault on teachers and schools.

    I’m so glad NYSUT leadership is making nice with him, UFT leadership helped engineer the WFP ballot nod and Weingarten made robocalls for his running mate.
