The Unity Caucus red-baiting of
opposition candidate for president of the
UFT, Kit
Wainer, is sadly ironic. They criticise Kit for being a socialist. They are counting on the membership to forget, or not know, that
UFT founder and AFT President Albert
Shanker and longtime
UFT/AFT President, Sandra
Feldman were socialists themselves. Oh yes, there's one more AFT member who was an avowed socialist:
Albert Einstein, socialist and founding member, AFT Chapter, Princeton, New Jersey.
Oh yes (not an AFT Member but another socialist) don't forget...
