Destroy the teachers’ unions and you restore the Republic.
Teachers, unlike other professionals, are government emplpyees. Government employees should NEVER be allowed to unionize.

Wisconsin’s Act 10 did just that.
Teacher’s Unions were demanding more every year for this and that, including new school buildings and additions. Outside consultants, hired by the Unions, would come in and tell local school districts how much they need to raise to accomplish their building projects.
All of that money came out of property taxes, which meant that some people were being taxed pout of their homes so a few could live in the life style they had become accustomed to.
The teachers who had no choice but to join the Unions got free health, dental, eye care - $0 deductible.
Once the Act passed, property taxes fell dramatically, and many districts were able to raise teachers’ salaries without increasing taxes, such that in rural areas the starting salary rose to $40K. The downside is teachers now had the same healthcare deductibles as everyone else.
