[lbo-talk] NYT: Teachers’ Union Shuns Obama Aides at Convention

[Joseph Catron]

"For two years as a presidential candidate, Barack Obama addressed educators
gathered for the summer conventions of the two national teachers’ unions,
and last year both groups rolled out the welcome mat for Education Secretary
Arne Duncan.

"But in a sign of the Obama administration’s strained relations with two of
its most powerful political allies, no federal official was scheduled to
speak at either convention this month, partly because union officials feared
that administration speakers would face heckling."
