Backlash: Parents cooling to unions’ propaganda

At last. Parent groups are catching on to how unions rope unwary parents into their schemes. This has spawned a Big Flap between teacher’s unions and parents.

If you are a parent, please hear me out. Covertly, teacher’s unions are either using you or undermining your authority to get what they want for teachers.

It has always been curious to me, even peculiar, why local parents groups have allied with teacher unions on some issues that are central to the union playbook. For example, some parents’ groups in Palm Beach County played into the union’s multi-year scheme to discredit a school superintendent who stood up to unions.

Unions really disgust me. They are what is killing American business and American greatness. So many of our problems boil down to unions.

The teacher’s union is mainly behind all the chaos here in Wisconsin these past 6 months. They really put a face on what they really are, for the entire country to see.

The same is true here in Michigan and the people don’t feel at all comfortable with the thuggish and deceptive behavior often directed at their children.

The upper midwest faces a bright future if current trends continue.

If the unions don’t get their butts kicked in the recall elections, we are all in trouble.

Tell your teacher friends to check out Wisconsin. Many districts are hiring teachers thanks to Scott Walker’s fixes.

I think they’re going to lose most of their recall attempts here in Michigan.

They already failed to get a Governor Snyder recall on the November ballot. They needed to collect 800,000 signatures within 90 days but only managed to gather 300,000.

Parents are realizing that a lot of teachers are either clueless or could care less that we are all pinching pennies.

Just because you got a guaranteed check does mean the rest of us do people! And parents who are struggling hear teachers whining about giving up a tenth of what a lot of families are living on now!
