Student Slams Ex-CNN Anchor, Union President, and Students First
This piece was originally published on StuVoice.org.
Are you a supporter of sexual predators?
We can all agree that that is a ridiculous question to ask, yet, former journalist Campbell Brown did just that in her Wall Street Journal opinion piece titled, “Teachers Unions Go to Bat for Sexual Predators.”
It gets worse.
A Twitter argument began. Brown and UFT President Randi Weingarten fought over Brown’s failure to disclose that she is the wife of both a Mitt Romney political advisor and a board member for Students First NY. Both well known entities that do not support teachers unions.
Weingarten then accused Brown of having taken her stance because Brown’s husband is a Republican. Meanwhile, Brown continued suggesting that teachers unions are supporting sexual predators.
I injected myself (@zakmal) into this spat Tweeting:
“You’re all acting immature. No one supports sexual predators. Period.”
Brown responded:
“You may not feel this affects you directly, but it is [a] big deal
