Teachers' Union Takes on ALEC
The president of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten talks to me about the union's National Day of Action for December 9. Weingarten has been an indefatigable advocate for public education in the face of a growing movement for privatization being pushed by conservative groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council. ALEC was holding their States & Nation Policy Summit at the time of the interview, which took place on Thursday, December 5, 2013.
