Union Vigil To Protest Teacher Performance Unit

 
I was quoted briefly in this article about the vigil last week:

Whitney Tilson, the co-founder of an education advocacy group, Democrats for Education Reform, characterized the  vigil as an attempt by Ms. Weingarten to pacify her members, not a serious challenge. "Let them have their vigil, and then sanity will return," he  said.

The city teachers' union is launching its first public protest against the Bloomberg administration in months. The president of the union, Randi Weingarten, organized tonight's candlelight vigil outside the Department of Education's downtown headquarters to protest a new city project to target bad teachers.
