Of course they are waging war against Donald Trump. He’s proposing school choice and putting parents and their children ahead of the teachers’ unions. That’s why a lot of parents are voting for Trump!

We just had a teacher in our area caught on camera stealing a Trump sign. It went viral and most of the community is disgusted and outraged. Real good role model there. I don’t think charges were filed even though I heard that people were calling for it.

Another progressive-left interest group funded by the nanny-state with massive government debt, courtesy of our fiat currency and the Federal Reserve.

Why should Public Employees even be allowed to vote??

If you owned a business, would your “Employees” be allowed an equal vote on their salary and benefit package????

Educators? I think not.

More like indoctrinators. Or useful idiots.

If by chance Hillary did win, it would be poetic justice for these females be the first to become slaves to that violent political ideology called islam. And the Hillary/Huma machine guarantees it’s coming.

This is just about the last political gasp for the NEA’s 3 million members.

Within ten years, using interactive software, the best 100 hundred teachers in America can instruct every public school student in the country.

The only reason kids will continue to go to school is to learn social skills and communication skills, and to watch exceptional Black athletes play football and basketball.

“Educators? I think not.”

When and why did teachers suddenly become known as “educators”?

Yeah, right. USA Today declared on the front page yesterday that the election was all up to women. What I see here is increasingly desperate straw-clutching by media who are being slowly disempowered.

The key voters in this will be Americans. They tried Balkanizing us and it isn't working. Too much of that already. No more.

Yes, the incompetent teachers must be protected, by the teachers union. How are they supposed to survive in the cruel world of copetitive main street economy? It is no big deal if we spend the most money per student, and yet come in 30th place among developed world. We can afford to spend more because we are so rich!

The bad teachers must be kept employed! Otherwise the unemployment rate will spike up! We already have 94 million Ameriicans without jobs. Why add to that number???

Of course this post is sarcasm! If you did not get that it is your fault hahaha...
