The email below went out last week to UFT President Michael Mulgrew. Camille invited Mulgrew to debate her on March 1. Camille is patiently waiting for a reply as time quickly passes.
Update: As of Wednesday evening, March 9 at 11:51, still no reply.
March 1, 2022
Dear Mr. Mulgrew,
As the 2022 UFT Election is rapidly approaching, I would like to invite you to a live-streamed debate with a mutually agreed-upon moderator following rules that are acceptable to both of us. This debate should be made available to every UFT member.
Since there is so much at stake, I am committed to working with you to ensure that all UFT members know where we stand on the issues that matter most to them. This election should be an honest contest of ideas, and I hope you’ll accept this offer to give members an opportunity to hear for themselves about our visions for the union.
There is precedent for an event such as this between presidential candidates during election season. As you are aware, your predecessor participated in presidential debates in 1999 and in 2001. In addition, two Executive Board candidates debated on WBAI in 2007; there was a candidate forum in 2010 featuring representatives from multiple caucuses running in that election; and there were regular meet-the-candidate question-and-answer sessions when UFT District Representatives were still elected. The UFT has a long tradition of open discussion that needs to be revived.
I await your response. In order to make the necessary preparations, I ask that you notify me of your decision no later than March 8, 2022. I look forward to hearing from you, and I am anticipating a vigorous debate.
In solidarity,
Camille Eterno
She will wait a long time. Inviting Mulgrew for a debate is like asking Putin and the Russian military to leave Crimea. Not going to happen.
ReplyDeleteDon't expect it from a dictator.
Voting for Mulgrew is like voting for a dictator.
Since Mulgrew will most likely decline, why not debate Arthur Goldstein instead? He's a Mulgrew puppet and unable to resist attention of any kind.
ReplyDeleteArthur will take it to the media appearing on fox news discussing masks in the classroom
ReplyDeleteArthur is not the topic of this post. Mulgrew is. Please remember that. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCome on, James. Arthur is always the topic. Celeb-Teach is everywhere!
ReplyDeleteAre there other candidates—or just the choice between Michael Mulgrew and Camille Eterno?
ReplyDeleteIt's March 8th today. Mulgrew has till midnight tonight to take on the debate offer. If he wussies out, SPREAD THE WORD!
ReplyDelete@2:29pm...BINGO.
