WFP Ramps Up Rhetoric Against Moskowitz- Charter Schools
JILL COLVIN
The Working Families Party is ramping up its rhetoric against charter school exec Eva Moskowitz in a sharply-worded call to action set to be released to more than 100,000 members this evening.
The email, titled, “Cloudy with a chance of political pandering” and written by Councilman Danny Dromm, slams Ms. Moskowitz for her decision to close all of her schools on Tuesday so that students can attend a large pro-charter rally in Albany. The event just happens to overlap with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s planned trip to Albany with advocates to push his plan to raise taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers to fund-universal pre-K.
“In chess, there are eight pawns. But in Albany tomorrow? Hundreds,” reads the letter. ” … tomorrow, she is planning to close all 22 of her schools and bus hundreds of students up to Albany to use as props. Pawns in a cynical political game.”
Mr. Dromm goes on to accuse Ms. Moskowitz of planning her rally specifically to undermine Mr. de Blasio’s agenda as retribution for the mayor’s decision to pull the plug last week on three of her schools
