I love the AFA

No other organization insists on believing every single piece of wingnuttery out there. Did you know that making english an official language was a christian, family issue?

It is not the Union’s Fault

I don’t have the energy for a long post on this but it drives me crazy:

  1. The reason for failing schools is NOT because teachers can’t be fired. (note: they can)
  2. The teachers union is supposed to represent the interests of the teachers. That is what they do. Critizing them for putting the teachers first in their negotiations is deranged, that is what a union is FOR.
  3. The union will always support “across the board salary increases”. See above.
  4. The union does not set education policy and they aren’t a government agency. They are accountable to their members, who have a right to collective bargaining.
  5. You can complain about the teachers union and oppose what they support. But don’t oppose their existence if you really believe in the free market
