Teaching Moskowitz
September 16th, 2005

Eva Moskowitz’s defeat — and Scott Stringer’s victory — in the race for Manhattan borough president should be a lesson for New York politicians, writes Leo Casey in edwize, a teachers union blog. Casey reminds readers that teachers and other unions backed Stringer, while Moskowitz “decided that the way to advance her political fortunes was to engage in demagogic attacks on public school teachers.” She should have known better, he says: “New York voters do not reward politicians who think that there is pay dirt in launching broadsides against teachers and unions.”

But Eduwonk, another education blog, thinks that may change — as long as the teachers union fights what Eduwonk sees as school improvements . In New York, says Eduwonk, reform “does seem an almost irresistible force…The question is, how many promising Democratic politicians will the teachers’ unions derail in the process?”
