NYC Supervisor: Barbara Morgan is getting what she deserves
Ednotes
I said "Ms. Morgan
you work for the DOE what the hell are you doing here defending [Moskwitz]?!
She steals money from our public schools by opening non-unionized charter
schools which profit off our kids." ... NYC Principal
Morgan post (Unflappable Weiner Press Spokesperson Barbara Morgan Flaps)
I was
happy to see her get her comeuppance. She is an arrogant, mouthpiece for the
neo-liberal deformers (and perverts) she represents.
She got upset that they
say she had a thin resume? She never did anything of substance but talk the
party line whatever the marching orders – Klein, Cerf, Weiner...
I met her at a rally against Moskowitz.
I asked Moskowitz:
"How do you justify paying yourself half a million dollars a year to run 3 schools when I am a principal and don't make that and when my sup't has dozens of schools and only makes 170,000?"
Eva just made a bored annoyed face and then Barbara Morgan who was observing everything runs over, jumps in and says "I will answer that!! She does not take a pension like you and the sup't so it is just another way of looking at compensation."
I asked her "Why are you answering for her? Who are you?"
She says "I am Barbara Morgan. I work for the DOE Press Office."
That really pissed me off as I was there as part of a Community Rally AGAINST the unwanted $ucce$$ Charter vultures.
I said "Ms. Morgan you work for the DOE what the hell are you doing here defending her?! She steals money from our public schools by opening non unionized charter schools which profit off our kids."
Look at this crowd-
FROM THIS COMMUNITY, not the twenty folks bussed in from harlem by Eva Moskowitz -
THEY DONT WANT THE SCHOOL.HERE IN THIS DISTRICT.
The parents are against it, the unions are against it and most importantly the CEC is against it.
I asked Ms Moskowitz a question and you jump to her defense.
Why would you do that as a n employee of the DOE? Are you here as an apologist for $UCCE$$ ? If so it shows a serious bias in favor of Charter schools over Public Schools which we have been alleging all along. You should be speaking up for me as a NYC PUBLIC SCHOOL principal not this corporate raider/privateer.
Ms Moskowitz walked off during this exchange as she knew full well the City was merely holding the Mandated Community hearing and that the City's decision was predetermined...
When she was gone Ms Morgan changed faces and says "well I understand that you are a union Rep and I respect that. I am from New Jersey and have a brother who is in a union"...
Two-faced foul-mouthed hypocrite. I don't wish ill on people. Life is too short. But when her brother can't get work or medical benefits he can thank soul-less empty-vessel spokespeople like his sister.

I had a
VERY bizarre encounter with Barbara Morgan the day before the Carlos Danger
story broke.
Anthony Weiner was loitering at our local subway station exit. I live around the corner, I thought I'd take a look. There was Anthony hanging outside of the main Carroll Street subway entrance as neighborhood folks were coming home at rush hour. It was not my intention to engage him but merely to observe. Thus, I planted myself on the corner about twenty feet away to watch.
There was essentially no interest in his presence by the folks leaving the subway during (an admittedly unbearably hot) late afternoon.
I was trying to be as unobtrusive as possible (I swear), when I was tapped on the shoulder by Barbara Morgan who called me by name - based on her recognizing me from her days with the NYC DoE. After briefly explaining she was working for Weiner, she immediately changed the subject and engaged in a spirited defense of the DoE and Chris Christie (as well as, naturally, an attack on Leonie) with no further mention of her current employer who (like I said) was just twenty feet away. I responded that in my personal experience with the DoE, I had little confidence in the Mayor's ever acting in good faith citing Bloomberg's "blowing up" of the original Teacher Evaluation agreement between Tweed and the UFT.
Morgan denied that, contrary to Ernie Logan and Commissioner King, there ever had been a 'deal'. Although she acknowledged that she herself had neither participated in nor was present at the negotiations, she cited as authority an unidentified person who had "actually been in the room" - unlike Logan or King. She then immediately told me this was "off the record" - even as I pointed out to her that this was Walcott's public version of what had transpired. She than threatened that she would "get" me if I ever disclosed this inexplicably confidential information.
At this point, I was desperately trying to exit the discussion (so help me) to no avail. In fact, she would not end the conversation until another Weiner staffer informed her that the candidate was leaving.
All in all, this was one of the strangest encounters I have ever had with a paid political staffer (in close proximity to the candidate no less). Indeed, the only thing close that I can think of was when former DC 37 Political Action Director Norm Adler lost his subsequent job with Shelly Silver after he tried to punch out a newspaper reporter several decades ago. In Norm's defense, though, the bastard had it coming.
Just thought I could add to the gossip.
