The Frustrated Teacher's
Blog Talk Radio show today, February 7, 2011 at 3:30 PST should be interesting. Sevren Fahr, a self-proclaimed liberal Democrat, like yours truly, hates teacher unions and tenure. I don't. He has all sorts of reasons why he hates them, but none of them make much sense to me. He seems even angrier than me, too!
Here is an example of Sevren's comments from
MichellRheeFirst.org where we disagreed about the greatness of Rhee's taping of students mouth's:
I'd like to tape YOUR mouth shut, and would probably have the backing of most of America, or at least anyone on this site. See you on the 7th, and be prepared. And she [Michelle Rhee] survives because most of us believe, while not being perfect, such as yourself tft (you should at least have the guts to use your name, instead of hiding behind 3 consonants), she certainly has provided dialogue about a system in need of massive change. While you, on the other hand stand on vitriol, and hackneyed old news stories. The Dead is dead, and so is your belief in the status quo.
Won't you join us?!
Confusion Update: Some of you may have tried to listen to the radio show and spent some time "buffering." That's because there is no show yet. It will be at 3:30, and then available after that for streaming or downloading, in perpetuity.
So, there is nothing to hear yet. We will be live at 3:30 (25 minutes away), and recorded forever.
Update: The show was a success! Thanks to Dave at
education4real and
Bronx for calling in. You can hear it at the link or in the sidebar of this blog.
New Update (2-10-2011): Fascinating news!
Sevren Fahr has threatened me with a lawsuit, or something. He told me to stop using his name. I am not "using" his name, I am identifying him by name. Not the same thing, is it? Counselor?
Anyway, about our next show, Sev says, "I've changed my mind, I want NOTHING to do with you. I will go it alone...you're a crutch and an ass." He goes on to say, in a subsequent email, "Oh, and if you post anythingt [sic] I say again, I will seek legal redress, and have already spoken to my attorney. My name and words...cease and desist."
Does this post count? I now have
March 7th open if anyone want to be my guest on Blog Talk Radio.
I have no idea what I did to poor Sev. We do go back and forth over at MichelleRheeFirst, but he goes by his name, Sevren Fahr, over there, so I didn't expose it.
Maybe he didn't like the quote of his above, but that has been there for a while and is also on my BTR page, and has been there since I setup our show we did on Feb. 7th. And, he wrote it originally as a response to a comment of mine at MichelleRheeFirst.
He did tell me, on the air, that he used to be a comedian. Maybe that explains things?
I hope he calms down soon. He is very excitable!
