Well, I look at George W. Bush's State Dept, and I see that a lot of long-serving civil servants seem to be working at odds with his policies.

I look at George W. Bush's Education Dept, and I see the same thing.

Government employees Unions are likely to support the Teachers Unions. Why? Well, the teachers unions are also Government employee Unions. It would be bad form to start trashing such institutions.

I often wonder why the teachers union gets so much blame for the education mess. If you hate all unions then I understand. I hate that they contribute to the rats, that do nothing for them. The TU does not set curriculum, or school policy. In Texas we are short 40,000 teachers. We can't be worried about certification or expertise, just find persons brave enough to go in and face the little “students”.
