Mollie Bruhn
A Teach for America alumnus who has been an early childhood classroom teacher at PS 106 in Brooklyn for the past five years after spending two years teaching at another public school in the Bronx. She began teaching with a year at a charter school but was let go for questioning the charter school leaders about their policies.
“I am running with MORE because I am increasingly dissatisfied with the Unity leadership. I want union policy and action to reflect the will of the members. I want our union to take a strong stance against budget cuts, privatization and the overuse of high stakes testing. MORE has the power to take our union and our profession to a better place.”
Hysterical.
Left the charters, where one is essentially an at will employee, to gain the protections our union has fought for, only to be critical of it.
And, your “MORE has the power…” line sounds like something out of James Bond or Star Trek.
Mollie, thanks for joining our party.
Unity is big on talk and little on action and is making ole’ Al Shanker turn over in his grave. Their latest trash paper talks about making “changes” to mayoral control, not getting rid of it, but making changes. Talk to any classroom teacher and they’ll tell you they feel abandoned by the union and wonder why in the hell they’re paying dues when things are getting worse every day in the schools.
Weingarten was a traitor and turncoat, and Mulgrew is no Karen Lewis of CTU that’s for damned sure. We need combattants, not collaborators!
We need a union that’s willing to go to war against the DOE with teaching to the contract, walking out of the schools, and plain old striking, f*@k the Taylor law.
Welcome aboard!
