The unions are still using the old BS cliche “America’s working families.”
Family members all have to work (except babies in the crib) because the workers in unions fork over dues, hurt the employer’s ability to invest more capital in the business due to union contract concessions and spend the rest of the dues on Dem campaign chests—not to mention frequent labor bosses’ siphoning off money as recent court trials showed.

"Ensuring universal and high-quality early learning opportunities for children from infancy to age five."

Promising that same old "cradle to grave" hand from government that the commies always promise..
As I recall, there is someone else who's always trying to buy our soul... Now, what the heck was his name..??? :(

The only way to improve public schools is to: a) close them down; b) replace them with private and charter schools; c) vouchers to parents; and d) absolutely NO government involvement at any level (local, state or federal) in the curriculum.

Bravo! That is also the only way to stop all the fights over what is to be taught in school and other issues such as which holidays will be observed, etc.

One of the worst things that happened to this country was the heavy hand of government providing most of the education from kindergarten through college.

Closing the opportunity gap by reversing inequitable funding structures at the state and local level


How exactly can a president, or the federal government, get involved in how states and localities fund public schools?

If I recall correctly, only about 5 per cent of all school funding comes from the federal government. So even if Pete can change the 5% of federal money and pour into ghetto schools, he and the federal government simply have no authority over literally thousands of school districts across the country, and how money is to be spent.

Give teachers and administrators lots more money and kids will get smarter.

“They will support someone who will partner with parents and educators to ensure every student, no matter what zip code they live in, has access to quality public schools.”

“champion for our nation’s public schools and working families”

This is nothing more than disingenuous blather. It’s PR talk obfuscating their actual intentions which has empirically been to swindle tax payers out of their earnings, to serve teachers and administrator’s economic interests, and deliver the absolute minimum of anything resembling an education. Where are the people who genuinely think we’re just one caring politician away from quality education for everyone? It’s insulting to any one with sense and would be fraud if it were coming from anyone other than the state.

There are so many lies and miss characterizations in the NEA statement it could make your head spin. Total propaganda.

An outfit here in Petie’s home state did a study this year and found that the growth of “non-teaching” positions in Hoosier schools dwarfed the rate of growth of enrollment
