Astonishing. There was a time teachers were held in high regard by parents.
I cannot imagine what their approval ratings would be in a poll today, with the refusal to teach, and the growing awareness by the public for the enthusiastic embrace of Marxism and indoctrination by teachers.
When I hear someone refer to themselves as an “Educator” it makes me want to spit. That is a sure giveaway of a Leftist.
We could really pull the rug out from under the teachers’ unions with one policy; yearly literacy tests for government school teachers.
The state of New York recently passed a law requiring prospective school teachers to take a literacy test to get their license, but repealed it the following year because 36 percent of whites, 54 percent of Hispanics and 59 percent of blacks failed on the first try.

If every state required this we would get rid of half the teachers’ union members in one fell swoop, and most of the remaining teachers would vote to decertify their unions in a heartbeat.
