A Note to My Readers>>>>>
The following six posts concern a compact book, running thirty (30) or so pages in manuscript format, that I have written concerning the contract negotiations currently being conducted by the Minneapolis Public Schools and the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers.
Bernadeia Johnson has emerged as a courageous and insightful Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools.
Lynn Nordgren leads a teachers union that is doing everything it can to obstruct the contract proposals that might in some cases challenge and inconvenience the most reactionary and least talented members of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers.
My articles copiously reproduce the Minneapolis Public Schools contract proposals and the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers responses. My own analysis is most evident in Article #1 and Article #2, and, especially, Article # 4 and Article #5, in which I summarize the Minneapolis Public Schools and Minneapolis Federation of Teachers positions--- and then offer incisive commentary.
Some readers may find the latter two articles the most engaging and find satisfying a process of skimming the other articles for details of the school district contract proposal, with union responses, but going to the two specified articles for the most careful reading.
The immediately following post gives the front matter of the book (title, copyright, and contents), with the five articles then appearing in succession.
