On the Edelman tape Schools Matter says, “Here is a great example of massive ego mixed with manipulative glee that was posted and quickly pulled from the Aspen site, but not before Fred Klonsky captured a copy for the world to see and hear.”
“Reformers” one. Unions zero says NYC Educator. “Jonah Edelman smugly discusses how he managed to snooker the teacher unions into accepting deals clearly not in their interest. It shows, yet again, how Obama’s people, specifically Rahm Emannuel and Arne Duncan, are not friends of people who need to work for a living.”
Tim Furman, who retrieved the Edelman video after Aspen scrubbed it from their site: “So…. Arianna was at the Aspen Approved Ideas Only Festival; she’s been appointed as a voice for progressives for some reason. She’s also personally very much in the ed deform camp from what I can gather, which makes sense given how popular that hobby is with the wealthy.”
From Seattle Education: “This video was taken at the Aspen Ideas Festival which is heavily funded by Bill Gates. Stand For Children’s Co-Founder Jonah Edelman explains how he, with the support of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Arne Duncan’s senior advisor Jo Anderson, out foxed the Chicago teachers’ union.”
Schooling in the Ownership Society: Fred Klonsky says, “It’s too bad there is not a transcript of the Aspen video of Stand For Children’s Jonah Edelman’s presentation. It could be studied in every Local and Region in the IEA.”

Fred, I believe YouTube will transcribe it for you; there’s an option to turn that on if you’re the original poster. Can that be done? I agree that it would be valuable.
