WEEKEND QUOTABLES

"Nothing about this White House communications department was ever about communicating. On the contrary, it has always been about deception, concealment and equivocation." -- Charles Blow, NYT 

Hap Bryant, National Teachers Academy parent

“We are fighting over scraps." -- WBEZ

Cory McCartan, president of the Union of Grinnell Student Dining Workers.

Unions aren’t just for factory workers or truck drivers; they are for anyone who wants to have a voice in his workplace. The sooner we accept this, the sooner we can transform the labor movement from an ossified relic of the last century into a powerful engine for the social and economic change that this country desperately needs. -- Letter to NYT

AFT Pres. Randi Weingarten 

 “Make no mistake: This use of privatization, coupled with disinvestment, are only slightly more polite cousins of segregation." -- AP Wire

Don’t let OJ Simpson blind us to black victims of injustice. -- Guardian 

Steven W. Thrasher

For the past decade, leading Democrats like Obama, Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, and Senator Cory Booker have trumpeted charter schools (and their disdain for unions, regulation and government enforcement of civil rights protections). They paved the way for the Devos-Trump education nightmare. -- Guardian

Peter Cunningham @PCunningham57 Replying to @mikeklonsky
