"What some educators have demanded, and what the U.S. Supreme Court rightly affirmed, is that the union ask for permission before spending any portion of a teacher's paycheck on politics without his or her permission."

It should be a nation wide law making it illegal for unions to donate money or otherwise get involved in ANY political campaigning PERIOD.

Union dues belong to it's members, and should be used for member benefits as was the origional idea. It could be put to much better use, such as cheaper group medical insurance, tuition grants for union members children, pension top ups, etc etc.

Instead, they spend hundreds of millions propping up corrupt democrats in hopes of robbing the treasury for member benefits, which they'll pay for through higher taxes anyways.
Unions and their retarded Marxist idiology just can't seem to grasp the unworkable vicious cirle their beliefs creatre, which always ends in mass murder by a Stalin or Hitler who comes along eventually to wipe the slate clean and start it all over again.

I used to love reading her column in the Columbian when I lived in Vancouver, WA.

Of course, now the law is the problem, in the WEA's view. There is a veto-proof majority of Rats in the WA State Legislature, all they gotta do is pull the strings there.

No big deal, they do it all the time.

Good news :

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday upheld Washington’s voter-approved campaign-finance law in a long-running dispute about the state teachers union’s use of nonmembers’ fees for political purposes.
