NY Wingnuts Go After UTLA's Duffy

"New York City Labor Against the War (NYCLAW) is deeply concerned that the leadership of United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA) has buckled to Zionist pressure by canceling its Human Rights Committee's forum in support of Palestinian rights."

So begins an open letter to UTLA President A.J. Duffy, which goes on to mention, "In April 2002, while Israel butchered hundreds of Palestinian refugees in Jenin, AFL-CIO president John Sweeney spoke at a 'National Solidarity Rally for Israel.'"

Never let facts get in the way of a good rant, boys.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Unified School District is seriously considering appointing a retired Navy admiral with no education experience as superintendent. Who knew NEA was so far ahead of its time?
