How about the creation of a Student - Parent union as a counter to teachers' unions?
This could be a stronger political movement, heavier funded, and a much bigger offensive against teachers' unions, because there are many more parents and students than there are teachers.
The political potential is boundless. I suspect many donors could be found to support the political aspirations of such an organization, not to mention the potential small donations of the millions of parents. These should be sufficient to get the interest of politicians.
I’m in.
All unions should be countered this way. Especially public servants who shouldn’t have Union’s anyway.
Great idea!
An inspired idea!!!
You are absolutely right. Teachers and municipal workers negotiate with politicians who court their votes. The taxpayers have no say directly., so there is a pass through of the costs. In the regular business model of union/management relations the company can move or go out of business, which is why union membership in manufacturing is below 10%.
Property taxes fund the public schools - so add those guys in to the PPP Union (Parents, Pupils, PropTax payers. If the proper character types are voted into the school boards all this BS goes away.
It’s a great idea until the lefties infiltrate the group and push their ideas. And they will.
But I agree, we have to do something, and we can begin by becoming very informed about our current local school board members.
That’s a great enhancement!
Can grandparents join? I’m in
That’s what I was thinking. The left is paid a salary to be activists and they move in when normal people go to their real jobs.
What needs to be done to start a movement?
