\n Pot, meet kettle: Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, says police unions need to stop protecting their misbehaving members.<\/p>\n

Yes, that Randi Weingarten, who as local United Federation of Teachers chief butted heads with Mayor Michael Bloomberg over his refusal to place ineffective and dangerous teachers back into classrooms. The union contract she championed wouldn\u2019t let him fire them.<\/p>\n

But in an interview with the Chief-Leader, a union-backed news<\/a> service, Weingarten argued in favor of changing police-union-contract protections that make it hard to fire problematic and dangerous cops.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have people of color being treated in a discriminatory way and being brutalized by law enforcement. If you don\u2019t, after [George] Floyd, recognize that there\u2019s an issue, then you\u2019re not seeing the experience of people of color,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In her decades as a union leader, Weingarten has never had any problem defending and protecting incompetent teachers \u2014 who most often worked in low-performing schools in predominately minority communities.<\/p>\n

The city employs more than twice as many teachers as cops \u2014 79,000 teachers versus 36,000 cops. And it\u2019s a lot harder to fire a bad teacher than a bad cop: It typically takes years and hundreds of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n

Instead, most bad teachers \u2014 the ineffective, the incompetent, even the outright abusive \u2014 get sent to \u201crubber rooms\u201d where administrators hope they will resign or eventually retire. That is, when they\u2019re not simply left to keep \u201cteaching.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together with other unwanted educators, they form the Absent Teacher Reserve \u2014 whose members the UFT is constantly trying to get back into the classroom.<\/p>\n

Weingarten\u2019s UFT successor, Michael Mulgrew, has been pushing Mayor Bill de Blasio to accelerate the re-absorption of ATR misfits in classrooms over the objections of school administrators. And the mayor has rushed to comply.<\/p>\n

At one point, de Blasio\u2019s Department of Education basically paid schools to hire from the ranks of the ATR. Chancellor Richard Carranza even brags about the resulting \u201cprogress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Every union puts its members\u2019 interests above the public\u2019s. But some unions have a lot more success in that regard \u2014 with Weingarten\u2019s members (in the city, at least) winning the prize for excessive privilege. It takes a lot of chutzpah for her to call on another union to give up protections more mild than what her own people enjoy.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
