After all, as AFT president now, she is also representing teachers who live in ultra-conservative cities and states. Even so, it still a self- serving move.

Randi once admitted to me in front of her Secretary Mike Mendel, star NYSUT lawyer Chris Callagy, and then New York Teacher reporter Jim Callaghan that she was soft on the notorious Commissioner of Special Investigations Richard Condon because Condon did her the favor of shutting down Joel Klein's early clandestine campaign to swiftboat her. Remember, Randi was in the closet until 2007.

They don't challenge the investigators, and if they take notes, you can't have them until you're charged. NYSUT lawyers are worthless, with exceptions like Chris Callagy who saved Portelos. They won't expose corrupt OSI dicks or pursue perjury charges against lying DOE witnesses. Then there's Mulgrew, our Rex Ryan, who okayed switching the burden of proof to teachers in incompetence cases. How did we let him get away with THAT?
