[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's notable that WTU isn't pushing for these types of updated public health guidances, if they advocate for children.[/quote]

Its a teachers union - they advocate for labor issues.

But please blame the WTU for charter issues.  The point of charters is so you are away from WTU.

BTW WTU's membership is 95% female, so attack women.[/quote]

Yes, I, too, am a woman.

The "issue" isn't a charter issue.  The issue is the OSSE guidelines.  WTU could be pushing for altering these guidelines, like the Charter Alliance.  You know, because keeping kids out of IPL has disproportionate impacts on Black and Latino/a and otherwise at-risk kids.  If WTU wants us to believe they care about children and lessening the achievement gap, then they should push to have more IPL.  It's perfectly fine if they are an entity that doesn't care about kids' educational outcomes; I get that's not their goal.  But then we should stop pretending (as many on this board have) that the WTU speaks for what's best for kids.  For example, there's another thread right now about a bill to allow WTU members to serve on the BOE.  Right now they can't.  It seems that if the WTU is OBVIOUSLY not looking out for kids, then they shouldn't serve on the BOE.
