Dear Mayor Bloomberg:
As parents, community leaders and elected officials who care about the city's publicschools, we are shocked by your comments that compare the United Federation of
Teachers to the National Rifle Association.
Coming three weeks after the senseless killings in Newtown, CT., such an offensivecomparison not only vilifies New York City teachers, but also mocks the work they doevery day to educate, uplift and protect our children.
Your comments are particularly inappropriate given the fact that the UFT was among thefirst organizations to provide counseling and assistance to the teachers and staff ofNewtown after the tragedy.
You have earned a national reputation for speaking out against the excesses of the NRA.Your comments Friday, however, show astonishingly poor judgment and are unworthy
of you, your position and your record.
You owe the teachers of New York City and their union an immediate and unconditionalapology.
Sincerely,
Peter Abbate
