I like your pictorial analogy. It is spot on and illustrates exactly how “DUMB” unions are. She would have everything to gain and nothing to lose by faking some co-operation with the Trump administration. I say “faking’ because the steel skull of Unions is well documented historically.

She’s just trying look “cool” to her ranking members and her cocktail circuit.

No problem.

Nice union you have there. It’d be a shame of something happened to it.

The president of the country's largest labor union, Lily Eskelsen Garcia of the National Education Association...

There is something really wrong with that.

I see no reason to assume they will do what is best for our students and their families.

That's really rich coming from democRat teachers union goons.

... when the union won’t even represent the teachers’ interests ?

What? That's all they do. Salaries, pensions, and paid days off. Hell with the kids, they don't pay dues.

Defund the NEA. Don’t give them a dime until she gets down on her knees and begs forgiveness for being such a stupid jerk.

The union president does not look out for the best interests of the children. She looks out for the best interests of the members of her union. If that means f the children then so be it.

It took me quite a while to wrangle that story over to FR so that doesn’t surprise me. Buggy website.

I read over her twitter. Its full of self congratulation, about how special the NEA is because they spend their time loving other people’s children. I want to know if they love other people’s children so much why, when, more money than ever is being spent, can’t Johnny/Janey read or do basic math when they finish 8th grade? Test scores at NEA member schools are a National disgrace.

But this lady thinks if she shines everyone on with Kumbaya moments it’s all good.

She know those hardhearted reality oriented Trump team players are going to stop the music and she won’t have a chair.

She is challenged in the looks department but not nearly as severely as in her reality testing.

Wiki says “Lily Eskelsen García was born Lilia Laura Pace. After high school, she married Ruel Eskelsen, with whom she had two children before his death on March 18, 2011.

Eskelsen García began her career as a cafeteria worker, and then as an aide to a special education teacher. At this teacher’s suggestion, she went back to school to pursue a teaching degree. She worked her way through the University of Utah on scholarships, student loans, and as a starving folk singer, graduating magna cum laude in elementary education and later earning her master’s degree in instructional technology.”

>>You mean teaching them America is horrible? Trans and gay life great? How to kill whitey? God is evil? How your parents are wrong and government is great? Did I miss any? <<

Yes, the complete LACK of any basic skills: kids today are YEARS behind in math, writing (trust me: most kids with COLLEGE DEGREES have atrocious writing skills), history, chemistry and physics — to name just a few.

A while ago someone said something like “if a foreign government were to put our education system in place, it would be considered an act of war.”

The teacher’s unions are completely responsible for that.

Huh? Withhold funding?

No, shut it down. Eliminate the department. Schools should be administered at the local, county level, not run by Washington DC bureaucrats.

I think she just issued a challange to DT...Trump didn’t put DeVos in there to just sit at a desk and stare out the window...I think we’ll be seeing some big changes in the NEA...
