If
you know the following individuals—Liz Davis, George Parker, Erich Martel, Mary
Collins, Maria Angala, Joyce Armoo, Jackie Hines—you might be having a
flashback to yesteryear. That is the
election cycle when George Parker teamed up together with Elizabeth Davis for
the WTU Presidency and General Vice Presidency.
These individuals were once big Parker supporters. Now they find themselves on the side of Liz
Davis. The truth be told the only thing
these people have in common is hate.
Nathan Saunders dispatched all of the above including George Parker (who
now finds himself employed by Michelle Rhee!).
What teachers should know is they cannot get along with each other,
either.
Liz's
big promise is jobs and economic opportunities to all (but really she just
means all on her defunct management team- not teachers). Mary could be back in the union office lickety-split
serving as a special assistant to the president or field representative. Erich Martel could use the union to continue
to try and get back his job (don’t be fooled- he only cares about his own job,
not DCPS teachers’ jobs). Somewhere in
the hundreds of grievances something has got to stick against the DCPS wall so
he can get government money once again.
The word is Nathan took exception to Martel's grievance mongering and
would not dance. Ask Erich to share the
real reason he was booted out of Wilson SHS.
It was not excessing but his unique classroom practices with black
students. (Oops, did someone say that?) Hey, Erich… tell us how the administration
proved you to be a threat to good educational practices?
But
wait a minute, Erich Martel was at Phelps and hated Principal Johnson. Liz Davis was at Phelps and loved Principal
Johnson yet they find themselves on the same side now. The common bond is hate. The big question is how are these people
going to get something (anything) done for you?
They aren't. Don't forget about
Emily Washington another Principal back-patter previously from the Luke C.
Moore school. She was in the Washington
Post talking about how she loved her Principal at least until she got the
boot. When was the last time Emily has
taught school? I heard she argues her
new school is not "healthy" enough... OMG! Does anyone remember when Emily was on the
control board? What a joke for teacher
leadership! She almost singlehandedly
ruined us. All of these ole union pimpettes,
thugs, grievance mongers, and hustlers acting like they are going to fight
something or somebody (besides each other).
They want to just get on one more time.
Please, Please, Please vote Nathan Saunders Slate because with these
other fools we will be buying wigs, teacups, and fur coats a la Bullock all
over again.
Speaking
of wigs, Liz needs to update her pic as the one she is selling teachers is not
her. Let's just say it was her 20 years
ago. I saw her without the wigs and it
ain't pretty.
Maria
Angala is currently seeking employment opportunities as well as her Jefferson
School wagon is brokedown for sure. She
should be happy it lasted as long.
Ironically, it was Nathan who saved her butt. Former Principal Mr. Ma gave her a nervous
breakdown but for Nathan she would have been long gone.
Liz
lost in the preliminaries just not by enough.
Nathan Saunders did manage to get 60% of his slate elected in the
preliminaries. What teachers should
concern themselves with is the workings of any leader with a split slate. Don’t put you career in the hands of losing
Liz, Play it safe and go with stable leadership and representation. Vote the Nathan Saunders Slate.
