Ruben is attempting to come between me and my direct deposit. Sorry you don't know me very well Stephen, but I am extremely loyal. However to those trying to screw me, or just as importantly, those that try to screw those who I care deeply about, will receive not an ounce of empathy from me and deserve to be exposed for what they are.<br /><br />As far as me bringing his "Jewishness" into it, you are wrong. It's what he is. It is what I am. In fact I am thinking of renouncing my Judaism because I am part of the same tribe with Ruben.<br /><br />Please email so we can further our dialogue.Pete Zuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708676684946013529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-22619089117455339592011-03-29T20:41:16.261-04:002011-03-29T20:41:16.261-04:00EDUSolidarity was my idea, and I was deeply offend...EDUSolidarity was my idea, and I was deeply offended by Ruben's post. In fact, I just published a 1500 word response to it on my blog. <br /><br />But I have to say, I am just as bothered by this post. Whether he likes it or not, Ruben is a fellow brother in the UFT. We don't gain anything by calling one of our own a"little two faced sanctimonious s**t" in public. This just plays into the divide that E$E is trying to create between younger and older teachers. A line like that hardens the mind of someone like Ruben, and gives him sympathy with anyone of more moderate persuasions.<br /><br />This further hurts our cause by the inaccurate statement that white Jews will never face discrimination. Is this likely to happen in NYC? Of course not. The rest of the world, not so much the case. But that's not the point. The point is that by bringing his Jewishness into this post for no relevant reason, you're going to piss off Jews, further reinforcing the divide between teachers, which again, is exactly what E$E wants.Stephen Lazarhttp://blog.stephenlazar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-23367207876410877542011-03-24T22:25:53.886-04:002011-03-24T22:25:53.886-04:00Ruben titles his piece "Why Teachers Like Me ...Ruben titles his piece "Why Teachers Like Me Support Unions: An E4E Take on Edusolidarity".<br /><br />So, what is he now the official E$E blog-monkey?
