I thought there was another one in Washington state, but maybe the last article I saw did things the same way.

I think I see a pattern emerging. One that must only be whispered lest we be called racists.

Yes, there is another scandal in a teachers union in Washington State, and frankly, I thought that's what this article was about. But, rabidralph is correct; this scandal in this article concerns the DC teachers union. Also CLICK HERE.

Incredible. Corruption everywhere.

Look on the bright side. This money didn't go to the 'Rats election coffers...

I'll stand by my comment, since EFF Executive Director has testified on the hill on the subject of numerous teacher union scams - with examples from all over.

Criminal teacher's union thugs ping.

Very interesting re "examples from all over." Thanks for including that.

"I stand before you a broken and changed CAUGHT person," she said. "When I think about what happened -
and I've had a year to do it - I would change things."

Don't do the crime
if you can't do the time...

In light of how many of these teacher union leaders across the country have turned out to be crooks -- and I say that reluctantly, as I didn't always know the extent of the problem -- I would say these union leaders apparently think they have plenty of time. That's why they keep doing these crimes. It almost seems you have to have an illegal financial scheme ready to go if you're to assume the head position of a teachers union, as that's the primary criteria. I mean look where we're at here - DC, Washington state, FL, good grief...
