Outside of a column from their token liberals Wood & Littlepage the TU has been conspicuously silent. You would juthink their editorial staff would jump on the chance to pen an op ed supporting all things Vitti? At least we have the Orlando sentinel & Miami herald to keep it 100. https://www.google.com/amp/www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/editorials/fl-editorial-veto-education-bill-20170509-story,amp.htmlBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543728085900576908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-80721085446957895322017-05-09T18:21:24.671-06:002017-05-09T18:21:24.671-06:00They are the worst!

They supported his bully tactics and allowed him to harm children and did not once report the investigations and the underhanded way he closed schools without a thought about how it would affect children, except his own of course.

TFA isn't a bad idea. I just don't understand why they need millions of dollars outside of salaries. (Of course then they could just apply for teaching positions like everyone else.) Apparently there's lots of money in non-profits. It's a pyramid scheme and DCPS is no longer the gullible mark. Even Vitti who's been a champion supporter of TFA can't spin it anymore. He's calling for cutbacks in TFA spending--which should tell you something. <br /><br />I don't remember seeing any editorials in the TU about the controversial education bill sitting on Gov. Scott's desk. Now that would be really interesting. Do they side with "civic leaders" like Gary Chartrand and JPEF or the superintendent who broke ranks with them on school choice and charter schools in Vitti? My guess is neither. They don't want to show up Vitti after begging him not to leave. It would reflect poorly on their judgement and we couldn't have that.
