UFT Solildarity Says It Won't Help All Teachers....And Other Funny Stuff

Last night when I wrote of the constant barrage of UFT Solidarity's fanboi love letters to MORE there had been one comment that was  deleted but luckily it was already saved in the SBSB archives;

"Hey Zucker, since you can't stop thinking about us, here is another photograph for you. This was the updated one. (See link just below)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9iiwedo00jrjiq7/portelos.pdf?dl=0 (As promised, artistic intern Zippy the Brain Damaged Chimp has made the poster more pleasing to the eye. See above)

I mean what I said though. I wouldn't want you teaching my kids. Part of my campaign will be to make sure I'm not running a platform that states "Protect everyone." There are people who shouldn't be teaching.

The fact that you spend so much time researching, trolling and writing, while you're unemployed adds to to the sadness. That's what it is...pathetic sadness. Loneliness...a void that can't be filled by a hundred anti-Solidarity posts.

No secret. Read what we write...We are doing things. Take notes."


So there we have it, it is official. UFT Solidarity will pick and choose which teachers to help, protect, and to ensure their due process. One can not but be saddened and see the correlation between UFT Solidarity and Animal Farm.

But as for reading what UFT Solidarity writes, let's have a looksee in the comments section of a blog post written by Norm Scott just several days ago.

From this comment at 11:59 AM;

....the reality is you are cynical man who is actually a detriment to the movement.

Norm a detriment? Wow! I just can't say enough about Norm and what he means to me and to others. Norm got me through my 3020-a, without him I don't know what would have happened.  My wife is so enamored by Norm she wanted to adopt him. 

I have disagreed with Norm many a time. We had a big brouhaha over a year ago. But Norm is wise. Norm has been fighting for over 40 years. He knows when to use the hammer and when to use the chisel. 

Do you know that since we have been turning up the heat on Aimee Horowitz, that they took away all her Staten Island schools? Do you know that we have initiated investigations on her and her principals?

This is known as a fact? This can be proved that UFT Solidarity alone initiated this? Or can it just be a coincidence? Or that she had schools taken away due to having to focus all her attention on the Reform schools? 

You speak a big game on your blog Norm and when you are surrounded by your people, 

Never noticed that. I have noticed this from UFT Solidarity. Like one big group of people with Freudian shortcomings

Michele Hen stated that her proposal for MORE to send members to 3020- termination hears was turned down. Is this true?

Yeah, this is the poster child for the voice of reason.

At 4:04 PM it was so said;
Norm, you and Peter Zucker are going to love Solidarity's "Rally of One" initiative then. We'll be sending as little as one person to leaflet outside a troubled school. We'll send you pictures to post.

So what? One is what UFT Solidarity can muster up having only 70-75 some odd members.

At 5:14 it was blabbed;
....you have the audacity to spend time writing a blog how 8 Solidarity members rallied against abusive Aimee Horowitz. This after we rallied outside Richmond Hill, William Bryant and Tweed in just the last several months. You have some nerve. 

And what were the numbers? 8? 12? Those numbers are not a rally. It's just a bunch of people walking around with signs.  

So there you have it. UFT Solidarity the Schlimazel Caucus.

If UFT Solidarity Has a Rally...Who Cares?

Throughout the summer the entire world had been hearing that UFT Solidarity was to have a rally in front of Superintendent Aimee Horowitz's office in Staten Island this past Wednesday, August 26. The world was ready.

Just an aside, Aimee Horowitz is High School Superintendent for Staten Island and Superintendent for the Renewal Schools. Aimee has also been in the news recently for several of her schools fixing grades and her ignoring the warning signs and the whistle blowers.

We do not condone Aimee Horowitz's actions and believe the world would be better off without her in education. But, this grade fixing credit recovery crud has been happening since Uncle Mike and we here at SBSB question where was the NYC media then.

Now back to the fun.

So all summer as mankind was awaiting the hordes of humanity emerging on 715 Ocean Terrace in Staten Island so that Aimee Horowitz would quake in fear of the Movement that is UFT Solidarity we here at SBSB awaited with bated breath for that day.

Sadly, I was in Lake George but news travels up I-87.

UFT Solidarity had planned not to have the rally in front of the campus of the Michael J. Petrides School on the sidewalk, but rather in front of the building itself. On the property.

The DOE put the kibosh on that and rightly so.

Your request for a permit to hold a demonstration at the Michael J. Petrides School has been reviewed and is denied. Chancellor’s Regulation D-180 does not authorize the issuance of a permit for such purposes.

Hmmm, Chancellor's reg D-180.

Someone from UFT Solidarity wrote back. Can't say who, but someone did.


Good afternoon Ms. Sylvia,
 I’m in receipt of your email in which you notify me that our request for a permit to meet at the Petrides complex is denied. We read through CR D-180 and do not see how having an open civic meeting, to voice our objections on how Aimee Horowitz has been running her schools, is being denied.

Civic meetings/forums, as long as they don’t discriminate, and are open should not be denied according to section I.F and I.H if D-180.

In any case, we will continue with this civic gathering outside of the complex, on Ocean Terrace, on August 26th.http://www.uftsolidarity.org/rally-against-superintendent-aimee-horowitz-a-common-denominator-in-fixing-schools/

We are however appealing here to General Council Jackson-Chase. Our request is being unreasonably denied.

Thank you.


Just an aside. Shouldn't the woman be addressed as Ms Jamison, not Ms Sylvia? Are we living in 1962 Mississippi?

But UFT Solidarity thinks it made a case. We wondered that too so we decided to have The Crack Team's legal intern, Zippy the Brain Damaged Chimp examine D-180 and with a focus on I.F. and I.H. Here are the two lines in question;
Permits may be granted for civic forums and community centers in accordance with applicable law.
Permits may be granted for holding social, civic, and recreational meetings and entertainment, and other uses pertaining to the welfare of the community.  All such uses  shall be non - exclusive and open to the general public.
Zippy says;
"UFT Solidarity is not a community nor civic organization. UFT Solidarity does not represent the citizens. While it does have CITIZENS amongst its ranks, it is not representative of the community as a whole. Its focus is narrow and for a select few. UFT Solidarity is not open nor is it inclusive to the entire community. It is also not recreational in nature. It is amazing that UFT Solidarity can't get past their own self worth to see this!"
Zippy also added;
"However, UFT Solidarity should have attempted to try selling itself as an entertainment act. Their argument might have met with success."
So what became of this rally? As you can see in the photo, it set the world on fire (Again, identities were obscured by a photo of Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe. We apologize to Mr Lee.

Seven people! Horowitz must have been cowering under her desk.

Yes, UFT Solidarity is a movement. A bowel movement.
