On the bright side, the UEA may have alienated some members. I know a couple of teachers who are quite upset that the UEA gave them bad information (knowingly mislead) on the issue. They're voting for vouchers and don't trust the union any longer. Hopefully, this thing will shed some additional light on where education union priorities lay - membership ($$$) not the students.
The down side, we will have an additional new 150K students costing hundreds of millions to the system. When they come for the millions more, old folks are going to lose their homes to the tax burden.
Utah is actually an ideal place to try a voucher experiment. The unions & liberals have been working hard and spending lots of money to defeat it. Why not try it and see how it works? The unions apparently don’t want to take the chance that it might work.
