Crisis Management and Ideological Conflicts

This chapter explores the aftermath of a press conference held by the UFT chief amid a crisis at Lane High School, where union leaders leverage the situation to push for more security, despite failing to address the school's specific needs. It further critiques societal narratives surrounding school violence, racial dynamics, and the ideological divides brought forth by the COVID-19 pandemic, examining how perceptions of morality can clash with the stark realities faced by communities.
