With parents of autistic children set to boycott a Brooklyn school being invaded by Moskowitch and rally at Tweed, Moskowitz is trying to draw press coverage away from them. But of course since they will arrive at Tweed at 10:30 there is still time for the press to cover their arrival if not the official start of their protest at the school at 8:30AM. Ed Notes will be there to cover even if not other press shows up.

PARENTS PICKET UFT HEADQUARTERS
(NY, NY)—On Monday, June 27 at 8:30 a.m., parents will picket outside UFT headquarters to demand the teachers union stop jeopardizing their children’s futures and allow their schools to open as planned. The UFT and NAACP have refused to withdraw their lawsuit hurting 7,000 children, despite the fact that all the claims in their lawsuit have been addressed.
With some charter schools set to start the school year in as early as 37 days, these 7,000 families have no idea if their children’s schools will be able to open.
WHAT: Parents Picket Outside UFT Headquarters
WHO: Parents affected by UFT and NAACP's ongoing lawsuit
WHEN: Monday, June 27. Parents will picket starting at 8:30 a.m.
WHERE: Outside UFT Headquarters, 52 Broadway, NY, NY
FROM LEONIE HAIMSON:
See the just-released press advisory from Eva’s press/political machine below.
This new protest tomorrow morning appears to be cleverly designed to draw media away from the long-planned boycott planned by the parents of autistic children at PS 368Kat 8:30 AM tomorrow, and their march to Tweed, to protest the co-location of Brooklyn Success Academy at their school.
Contrast their protest, organized by real life public school parents who wrote their own press advisory, to the advisory put out by Kerri Lyon, a PR flack now Senior Vice President at SKDKnickerbocker, one of the largest PR firms in NYC, hired by Eva to handle her media relations.
Kerri was originally hired away as a reporter from Channel 2 news by DOE in 2007 at a large salary, reportedly to put a “good spin” on their news, and then was subsequently by the Charter School Center, probably at an even higher salary.
Her official bio credits her for the following achievement: “She even booked Chancellor Klein on “The Colbert Report.” (though Colbert’s chief booker is married to Jon Alter, and is a big charter school booster herself, so this was probably pretty easy.)
her advisory follows the one from the parents of PS 368K.
