Stand for Children’s Jonah Edelman explains how they out foxed Illinois teacher union leadership.

This is an amazing video from the Aspen Ideas Festival in which Stand For Children’s Jonah Edelman explains how he, with the support of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Arne Duncan’s senior advisor Jo Anderson (former Executive Director of the IEA) out foxed the CTU, the IFT and the IEA’s Ken Swanson and Audrey Soglin into agreeing to Senate Bill 7.

The video is an hour-long and the sound isn’t great. But it is worth the effort to listen to how teachers got screwed by their leadership’s incompetence and connivence.
