do you think anyone will notice?
I was an involuntary member of a teachers union for decades. I say “involuntary” because membership was mandatory at the time. A Supreme Court ruling has since changed that.
Anyway, it’s worth noting that the membership pretty much reflects the community at large. Some support Bernie Sanders. Some are MAGA folks. And everything in between.
Here’s the key point. Members NEVER get the opportunity to vote on resolutions, endorsements, etc. Everything is decided by the entrenched leftist union leadership. And that leadership gets re-elected time and again using methods that would make Stalin blush. Oh, the stories I could tell you.
A group of us once went to see a lawyer about this. You’ve got a point, the lawyer said. But I won’t take your money. As long as the union constitution is even somewhat followed, you will lose any lawsuit.
Identify the leaders and activists who were behind that resolution and who actually teach students. Let the parents know who they are and pressure the school boards to get rid of them. Good chance many of them have peculiar, unlawful private habits.
Without capitalism, the schools systems would not exist, and the teachers’ unions would just be a dream, and America would be no better off than those countries that don’t have the funding to send their children to school, and America would stop being the world leader in just about everything.
America would be no better off than those countries which have most of their citizens fleeing and seeking to enter the U.S. illegally now through our southern border.
Capitalism drives wealth and secure futures, and guards our freedoms, which most of those teachers would cease to have if there was no capitalism.. Those idiot teachers need to lose their jobs and then seek similar jobs elsewhere in the world, where there is no doubt they’d never find.
There can’t be a single parent anywhere who can’t provide a better education at home than a child is getting in one of those schools.
Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. Socialism is exactly the opposite.
The John Dewey legacy lives on.
Guess we better just eliminate public schools then so those dastardly capitalists can’t exploit them.
Fire them all.
Forty years after the Constitution was ratified, using Adam Smith’s THE WEALTH OF NATIONS, the US was an up and coming economic power!
Sixty years after the Cuban Communists came to power, using Marx’ economic system they still can’t make “La Rev-o-loo-cion work!
Socialists/Communists produce NOTHING socialists/Communists wish to “redistribute.”
Capitalism produces EVERYTHING socialists/Communists wish to “redistribute.”
Socialism/Communism can only exist as a parasite of capitalism.
Over 5000 years of history and only Capitalism has seen a rise in the standard of living across all members of society. From Walden, New Harmony, and others to modern-day Venezuela, Socialism has always failed, yet these non-thinking twits want to try it again. The very definition of stupidity.
Capitalists need to stop giving the Commies the rope to be used to hang them.
Lenin thought that stupid capitalists would sell the rope.
Today dumb Americans pay the Commies to teach their kids.
Okay, capitalism and those that espouse capitalism do all those things. Let’s concede that point, less the public school part. There is no capitalism in public schools.
What’s the teacher union’s alternative?
I was thinking about this the other day, although abstract of teacher unions. People of this anti-capitalist ilk are truly intellectually crippled. I think we may be mistakenly identifying these people as socialists or communists. They simply just don’t know enough about either. So, what do they propose as an alternative to capitalism?
It’s obvious that they are pro big government, but they lack the depth of thinking to take that to the policy of a centralized planned and controlled economy that the USSR once had and China still has to great extent even though there have been some capitalist reforms in China. In other words, they embrace leftist ideologies without any critical thinking.
If they are jumping on the commie bandwagon, they really need to examine how communists FORCED people against their will to part of a system that inherently exploited children, public schools, land, labor, and resources. In the process, the economic outcome was inferior for all but the political elite. The standard of living was lower than the rest of the industrialized world. People did not enjoy the freedoms of the West. And most importantly, tens of millions of people were murdered to achieve such low levels of human achievement.
Given the context that this article is coming from a teachers union, it speaks volumes about how teachers are ‘collectively’ are not equipped to teach our children and really should not be allowed near children.
I am so glad that I homeschooled my children.
The American education system started falling apart in 1979 when Jimmy Carter started the Department of Education...
It’s the “capitalists” that built the schools. But never mind the facts.
So they’re concerned about the children.
So, shouldn’t they be working for free then?
tells you everything you need to know about why government schools are turning out generations who vote for Marxism ...
Not to mention when Teachers Unions were allowed to operate in our schools in the late 60s. Do NOT overlook that fact.
