“Yes, unfortunately the laws requiring union membership are stronger than those requiring public education;”
You don’t see the irony, do you?
A parent sending kids to public school can’t be conservative, according to a union member that makes excuses for himself being in a socialist union that is the antithesis of conservatism.
Amusing.
I understand exactly. When I was hired by my company, it was an employee owned organization which was the reason I wanted to work for them. Since the employees, mostly unionized, owned the company, being unionized or joining the union did not impact the rights of others. After bankruptcy (primarily because of the union) it is now owned primarily by people other than the employees. By federal law, I am required (against my wishes) to pay union dues. The other option is to quit.
I understand than many parents including conservative parents do not have the option of home schooling or sending their children to private schools. It's the "conservatives" who have the option but defend public education that I question.
Even so, my paycheck comes from customers who VOLUNTARILY fly on our airplanes. Parents who choose public school FORCE citizens to pay for the education of their children.
