Andrew Yang speaks truth to teachers in mayor’s race: Goodwin

Andrew Yang must have seen this one coming. Democrats who want to be mayor all know that teachers unions are like a third rail. Touch it and your career is dead.

But Yang didn t just touch the third rail. He grabbed hold with both hands and let the world know what he was doing.

I will confess to being a parent that has been frustrated by how slow our schools have been to open, Yang told Politico in a recent interview and I do believe that the UFT has been a significant reason why our schools have been slow to open.

His words were the explosion heard round the five boroughs, all the more so because Yang is the early frontrunner,  getting anywhere from  16 to 32 percent in various polls with different sampling models. His comments were so unusual they sparked speculation that his inexperience in New York politics was showing.

Maybe, but not likely. Yang is a smart guy who ran for president as a Dem, so he had to know that teachers unions are the backbone of the party.
