Has the National Education Association overplayed its hand on the NCLB reauthorization?
First there was the testy exchange at yesterday's NCLB hearing where Congressman George Miller pretty much accused the NEA of acting in bad faith for opposing some teacher pay language which the union had previously approved. (The AFT seems to have covered its tracks on that front – welcome back Michele!)
Now Miller is lashing back at the California Teachers Association for spreading bad information in its "war" against him and Speaker Nancy Pelosi. We'll see if making the chairman declare "liar liar, pants on fire," is a winning strategy for Team Weaver.
