The Myth of the Myth of the Blogger Beast
Yet, amid the foul stenches emitted by modern-day educational "reform," there lurk in cavernous depths, close to the unbearable heat of the Common Core, strange breeds of creatures known to Michael Mulgrew simply as mythological ed. bloggers.
According to Mr. Mulgrew, these Blogger Beasts traffic in myth. They are not to be trusted. It is better that you self-censor yourself and never dare to visit their dens, such as this one, or any of those in the right-hand margin of this web page, lest the foundations of your worldview begin to shake.
Blogger Beasts sometimes spew forth venom. They even question policies supported by the Union, for example:
1. the "myth" of increasing retiree votes at the expense of drowning out the voices of the active rank and file.
2. the "myth" of mayoral control of education for the best interests of all
3. the "myth" that Unity members are discouraged from blogging or from reading most ed. blogs
4. the "myth" of a loyalty oath tied to powerful purse strings
5. the "myth" of a million buckaroos accepted from Eli Broad for its UFT charter school and then the pairing with Steve Barr of Green-Dot schools and parent-trigger-law fame
