THE COMING FALL OF TEACHERS UNIONS

American Thinker -- 6/21/2011

http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/06/the_coming_fall_of_the_teachers_unions.html.

The book begins by telling the hard truth about unions: "As the most powerful group in American education, they use their power to promote [their] special interests-in collective bargaining, in politics-and this often leads them in to do things that are not good for the children or the schools."

The unspoken question is why we, as a society, put up with this.  One answer might be the slow process by which we all acquiesced to their control.

Why should another generation or two of children be forced to attend poor-quality schools when we know, from books like this one, what the underlying causes are?  Where is the outrage?  It is time to challenge the moral legitimacy of teachers union power as President Ronald Reagan challenged the now-defunct USSR.
