Teachers’ unions are the core of the Democrat Party; they own it (forcing the party to defend the indefensible, openly oppressing the downtrodden, etc.). When a lower birthrate suggested maybe we didn’t need so many teachers, they simply imported more (actual results be damned).
NJ teachers’ unions are the primary reason Americans and the companies that hire them are leaving NJ; Governor Christie was elected to staunch the bleeding.
“Teachers unions are the core of the Democrat Party; they own it”
That’s largely true, along with militant secularists, government aid recipients, and ethnic identity demagogues.
