Of course these highly qualified teachers would support someone the Teacher's union is against. (Actually the union endorsed McBride in the governor's race. Which should be a clue for Janet Reno-- also running.)
It has long been my contention that the teacher's union is opposed by most good teachers. The union is for rank and file teachers and "brings the curve down" for the rest of the teachers. Not good for education and if its not good for education, it eventually hurts the very people the union pretends to protect.
Thanks for your comments, KC. Also, note the last sentence in my article -- you may be interested. :)
