A major battle has been won by our side. The unionistas are licking their wounds today and crying.
Roll back collective bargaining for govt employees now.
Next, push school vouchers.
Keep hitting them. When we’re on offense, they’re on defense —a game they don’t know how to play.
What I have never seen discussed is how effective these tactics are. In short, do they work? I think the answer is no, not anymore.
I would fire every “EDUCATOR” in the country. I would then replace them with TEACHERS, those who would Teach math, English, History, responsibility, manners, the ability to think for oneself, to read as well as the myriad subject that truly mean “Education”.
We do not need an “Education Department” to spread left wing propaganda, we have the American media for that.
This “leader” Peterson epitomizes the dire threat to what was once a crowning jewel of the United States. That “old fashioned”, outmoded, obsolete, simpler system fueled the creation of the greatest nation in the history of the world.
What we have now is removing the bricks from the foundation, one at a time. When it finally collapses, the remnant will wonder, “How could this happen?”
Public Service doesn't mean you're to be serviced by the public for life
President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans. Businesses that offered plans like many governments have would go bankrupt. Gov’t entities will, too, eventually, but it will be much more painful.
This is why unions should again be outlawed for public employees.
When collective bargaining was brought into American schools in the 1960s, it was a revenue stream and power base for Big Labor. Suddenly, union bosses became more interested in building political muscle than educating children.
At that point the battle between unions and school boards became more focused on salary, benefits, pensions and working conditions for adults, and less about students.
Kids are only pawns in the self-serving union game.
What is the purpose of teacher unions? To work for children? Establish new and better requirements? Push their members to better serve parents and children?
"Despite what some among us would like to believe, it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children. And it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees" ...National Education Association's just-retired General Counsel Bob Chanin. (The NEA is the County and State Association's parent body).
NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin Says Farewell:
As legendary New York teachers union leader Albert Shanker said, "When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children."
All government unions should be banned. The idea that government workers need protection from guess who?? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, is ridiculous. remember, teachers are government employees. Ban government unions.

Boy the people in those picture look mighty white!
States and municipalities facing bankruptcy won a great victory yesterday. We’ve reached the bottom of the jar of other people’s money. Reform time for the nation.
Michelle Malkin hits a homerun.
