How the teachers-union empire strikes back

The New York Post reports:

Mona Davids, head of the reform-minded New York City Parents Union, is a major thorn in the side of the teachers unions. So the unions and their allies in the city school system are striking back.

Most notably, Davids is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the state’s teacher tenure law. Last week, a state judge rejected (for the second time) a motion to dismiss that suit — and the union empire struck back by moving to push her and her allies off her son’s school’s Title I Parent Advisory Council, which oversees how the principal spends nearly $1 million a year in funds. The parents had been questioning use of the money to pay two teachers-union offices to be “floaters” in the school.

It’s far from the last act of apparent retaliation by her own principal and other union allies — with the city Department of Education playing along.

The latest move comes complete with allegations of embezzling — even thought the committee doesn’t actually control the funds. (The principal does.)

The empire strikes back.
