Big city teachers are all progressives, are all in unions, love their top-down bureaucracy, constantly tell us about their leftist, diverse, loving bona fides. They all get guaranteed pensions and health-care, work about 190 days a year.
As far as I am concerned, they had a big hand in creating this problem.
I am finding it difficult to care.
That's simply not true. Big city teachers are essentially a cross-section of society. Conservatives, liberals, libertarians, monarchists (okay, just kidding about monarchists).
Now, here's what is true. Big city union leaders are all progressives. And big city school administrators are all progressives. It's that last group in particular that is destroying education.
