Biographical History
The Teachers Action Caucus, as Teachers for Community Control, was a rank and file opposition group within the United Federation of Teachers (New York City) that was founded by former members of the radical Teachers Union of the City of New York (1916-1964), many of whose leading activists were Communists, and by younger teachers representing the New Left of the 1960s. While the impetus for the Caucus founding in 1968 was its objection to the UFTs position relating to the impending crisis in relations between the UFT and the African American community that erupted in the teachers strike later that year, TAC went on to oppose the leadership of the UFT on a broad range of issues relating to its education, labor, and domestic and foreign policy positions. With the rise of the New Action Coalition, a coalition of progressive teachers, in the late 1980s-early 1990s, in which TAC members participated, TAC became less active and eventually ceased to exist.
