In WV the teachers union has taken its cue form the UMW.
They’ll even turn the kids out that are in college out to strike\demonstrate if they have an issue they really want the PR optics. Bills to allow engineers\scientists to change careers and enter teaching, Ed School colleges kids strike! Bills to tighten requirements, union jumps on it. I could go on. Benefits & pay (already more then the average WV family!), any bills to reign that in, teachers unions get to work. In the southern part of the state where UMW militancy is the strongest, the teachers union use UMW tactics property damage, physical threats, etc.
yeah I don’t know nuthin!
“yeah I don’t know nuthin!”
That is about the size of it. In Texas, and especially, here in Louisiana, where teacher unions are toothless, we have the same Leftist anti-American propaganda taught in the public schools here as they do in the North where the unions are much stronger.
I talked with a teacher in Texas who was lamenting the powerlessness of the teachers’ unions in Texas. She said the administration in Illinois where she use to teach hated her because she was a union representative and could force her will. There controversies were never about the curriculum. They couldn’t care less.
