And I appreciate your view that Edwise is acting toward me in a dictatorial and censorial manner.<BR/><BR/>The actions of kombiz, which he was able to implement after the Edwize system was updated last month, are consistent with every bureaucratic monopoly. <BR/><BR/>In this case, the website, in its role as UFT media outlet, aims to stifle real debate within the UFT and present a unified voice to outside observers, such as John Stossel or the NY Post. <BR/><BR/>Attempts to control ideas presented on the website should leave no doubt that the UFT fears entrpreneurial and independent action in the world of education. <BR/><BR/>Like the central planning commission of the former Soviet Union, it wants to hold all the cards. And like the former Soviet Union, the DOE won't cut its own power.<BR/><BR/>Thus the union and the DOE are locked into an unwinnable battle. And in the end, the kids are shortchanged directly, and down the road, civil society is impaired.no_slappzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207475509053402475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-1143502821667222562006-03-27T18:40:00.000-05:002006-03-27T18:40:00.000-05:00no_slappz;I will never agree with you on vouchers ...no_slappz;<BR/><BR/>I will never agree with you on vouchers and your feelings about the public schools. However, I do not consider you a serial teacher basher, just somebody who sees things differently, and I don't think it was fair what they have done to you.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-1143479669290278742006-03-27T12:14:00.000-05:002006-03-27T12:14:00.000-05:00chaz:You might have noticed that no posts of mine ...chaz:<BR/><BR/>You might have noticed that no posts of mine have appeared on the <BR/>Edwize site for a while.<BR/><BR/>Why? Because my IP address has been blocked by the nitwit who runs the site. <BR/><BR/>I cannot log on to Edwize and submit comments. I can only read the articles and their responses.no_slappzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207475509053402475noreply@blogger.com
