Shavar Jeffries of DFER Cancels Debate with Julian Vasquez Heilig
Julian Vasquez Heilig is a noted scholar of subjects such as democratic governance, social justice, inequity, and Teach for America. He has recently debated leading figures in the corporate reform movement, including Howard Fuller and Steve Perry. (Both debates will be posted here.)
He thought that Shavar Jeffries, the president of Democrats for Education Reform, agreed to debate him. But suddenly, Jeffries tweeted that he would not debate Heilig because Heilig is “not serious.”
Shavar Jeffries said that Heilig’s blog “Cloaking Inequity” could have been written by a sixth-grader.
You can follow their tweets:
@ProfessorJVH for Heilig
and
@shavarjeffries for Jeffries, who ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of Newark and now leads the hedge fund managers’ group DFER.
