Mailee Smith, of the Illinois Policy Institute: "The union’s demands went well outside the scope of education. CTU included district support for rent abatement in its demands. It also placed defunding the police on the table...While kids are struggling academically and emotionally, the unions are using a pandemic to push their political agenda."
If Americans are just now learning the devastating power of teacher unions, then they haven’t been paying attention. It should have been stopped a long time ago.
Yet the locals keep voting for feminists, former educators, ‘moms’, communists, progressives and straight up crazy people to fill vacant slots on local school boards.
And the local press helps them along. Bend the knee, or the local press will wreck your life, and the top google search in your locale will be negative stories about your social media comments for the rest of your life.
And somehow many of them believe that these people simply want to help the poor and save the planet! The education system has a lot to answer for. They have produced exactly what they wanted- irrational voters who love their masters.
