Enriquez in Hot Water with Teacher's Union over New Retweets
Hector Enriquez has apparently stepped in it again with his retweets. This time he has apparently upset the Texas State Teachers Association, which is now a good thing for a former school board member.
In this press release sent out a few minutes ago, the TSTA takes issue with Enriquez retweeting and promoting an effort to "repeal educational standards".
The entire press release is at the bottom.
Arlina Valencia, president of the Ysleta Teachers Association, issues this pretty stinging statement. “I can’t imagine why an El Paso candidate would align himself with private charter operators who seek
to eliminate public education standards instead of supporting the legal effort being waged by our local
school districts,” said Arlinda Valencia, president of the Ysleta Teachers Association. “El Paso needs
better state support for our local schools, and we won’t get that from people seeking to enrich
themselves by cramming students into overcrowded classrooms with untrained, unqualified ‘teachers.’”
Ouch.
Somebody better do Enriquez a favor and take the keyboard away from him. He seems to keep making things worse and worse for himself.
The last retweet incident generated coverage around the state. This one is likely going to end up making its rounds with educators.
