Reader comment on: Teachers Get Big Gift From GOP

Submitted by Larry Littlefield, Feb 15, 2008 08:34

The teachers didn't get a gift. Those who will be paid to do nothing got a gift, which NYC teachers and children will pay for.

This, combined with the Sun essay yesterday that objected to vouchers on the grounds that they have the same value for affluent and poor children, and said in so many words that NYC parents have no reason to complain because if they care about education they can move out of New York City, and it is clear where this is going. You will pretend to work, and we will pretend to pay you. The children get nothing, and teachers who do their jobs and stay here are fools. Just like before.

If there ever was a moral issue, it is this. If Eliot Spitzer is to be a worthwhile Governor, he needs to veto this and say why.
