Yang lays blame on teachers union for sluggish pace of school reopenings

By Thomas A. Smith

Andrew Yang is fed up with New York City s school closures, and he s not mincing words about it.

The leading mayoral candidate, who has a 5-year-old son in a Manhattan public school, took aim at the city s 190,000-member United Federation of Teachers for its perceived role in delaying school openings during an interview with POLITICO this week.

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

Yang is not really a politician. It will be interesting to see if he can win. If I lived in NYC (perish the thought) I would probably vote for him, if I voted.
