Illinois Democratic state lawmakers can constitutionally force charter school operators into silence when Democratic-allied teachers unions attempt to organize their workforces, under threat of losing the charter they need to remain in business, a federal judge has ruled.
Unions had a place and maybe do now too in some industries, but in the Education Business, they have lost track of purpose of Education, their purpose now is to control competition and extort money from the tax payer…and oh, yeah…show up for a class here and there in between summers, in-service training, conferences in Italy and holiday breaks. The unions do nothing but protect and enrich themselves. Close it. Fire them all. Start over.

This would be fair only if the union was gagged as well. Otherwise, this is an Equal Protection clause violation. Not that an Obama judge really studied law. Well… maybe studied, understand it? Naah.

Dissolve teachers unions. They are not about providing quality education. They are about politics, power, and money What happened to freedom of speech? In IL this freedom is only for Democratic socialist s/ communists.
Not your call. The teachers have a constitutional right to collectively bargain for more money regardless of you repeating the same thing over and over. They aren’t going anywhere. You claim you want freedom of speech but want to take away teachers first amendment rights in the same argument. They have a right to discuss politics, power, and money.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Hey, but, ya know…it’s all about the kids.

But the charter schools don’t have the right to respond, or even talk about it…? ? ?
So, government mandated speech is a thing now…? ? ?
I wonder what the reaction would be if the unions were mostly (R)… ? ? ?
More constitutionally illiterate slop from an Obama fake judge.
