United Federation of Teachers is being accused of hypocrisy after approving a charter school founded by Randi Weingarten to co-locate at public school buildings in Queens and Brooklyn.
and its own regulations when it sought to co-locate two Success Academy charter schools into Queens and Brooklyn public schools without providing an in-depth analysis of how these co-locations would affect the students already in those public schools."Furthermore, UFT’s lawsuit argues that Success Academy is trying to circumvent the current state-mandated cap by drawing students from two existing charter schools and casting itself as an expansion.
However, UFT had reportedly little to say about PEP approving the co-location of University Prep Middle School in public schools in the South Bronx. "While the UFT often gripes that such moves deprive classroom footage from students and staff in traditional unionized public schools, not a peep was heard from union brass about the University Prep plan, though a union rep from the Rapport School raised objections," according to the New York Post.
Moskowitz told The Post on Sunday,"This blatant hypocrisy shows that the UFT’s opposition to letting charter schools use underutilized school buildings has always been about protecting its schools from competition, not a sincere concern for children."Weingarten is a member of University Prep’s governing board and its teachers are represented by the UFT. Another member of the governing board is a former top UFT official, Burton Sacks.
Joining Fox News Digital in 2019, he previously graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Political Science and is an alum of the National Journalism Center and the Heritage Foundation's Young Leaders Program.
