The Union President Who Swings

If this South Florida (Why does it always seem to involve Florida?) teachers union president ever gets tired of doing whatever a full-time county-level union person does to fill up his time, I guess he could go back to running a profitable swingers club in his home.

Interestingly, a careful read of this related article might lead one to suspect that this man's past was possibly exposed at the hands of a defeated incumbent certain well-entrenched union officials who felt threatened by his promises to run a "transparent" union..
.

Heh. transparent teachers union--- An oxymoron if I ever heard one.

Actually, I feel sad for him. What he was accused of did not involve children, violence, or theft.

And it happened a long time ago. On his own time. In his own house.

Still... union politics and union insiders have the reputation that they have for a reason.

Honest, well-intentioned, and hard-working people don't seem to get very far when they attempt to make positive changes within these organizations.

Note to the N.E.A.: Endorse This!

Is the "stamp of approval" by the National Education Association actually The Kiss of Death for presidential candidates?

Unlike the succession process used to install the NEA's unelected (and therefore unaccountable) "president," you get to be the decider.
