How can we evict teachers unions from our towns?

Posted on 06/06/2020 11:28:08 AM PDT by cradle of freedom

Does every town and city in our country have a teachers union? What if all of the red voting towns and cities kicked out the teachers unions out of their schools? We would not be empowering them with our tax money and our schools would not be places of leftist indoctrination.

For starters, stop sending your children to gubmint schools. They’re not there to teach your children critical thinking. They’re there to brainwash your children into believing criminals with darker skin than White are more deserving of rights and to be worshipped than law-abiding citizens and God. Ditto for worshipping Sodomy and all manner and sort of degeneracies.

All government sector unions MUST be abolished.

The police unions are antifa? I suspect Bob Kroll of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis would disagree with you.

Conservative parents and business leaders need to hit the streets and gather the votes to win school board elections.

this, this, and this ...

school boards exist as the sole representative of the taxpayers.

a professional educator should NEVER be elected to a school board.

unfortunately, most people don't know this.

There should _never_ have been any such thing as a public service union. All work for government is to be a service or find another job. Major duh

Same for SEIU and other public employee unions.

Agreed.
This country NEEDED unions at one time. But that time is long past.

Sow the seeds.

“I would have bought that, love to patronize your business, but our property taxes for schools are too high.”. Then walk out

I agree that the NEA is horribly liberal. But the union serves one good benefit. It protects the teacher from management when a crybaby parent convinces the principal that Miss Crump gave too much homework to little Johnny.

If Kennedy implemented unions with an EO why can’t we undo it with an EO, Trump could do this in his 2nd term I would be very quiet about it until after election!!

JFK made public sector unions legal, public sector unions should be once again made illegal. If your work for gov, no union.

LOL now I get it TG. My mistake. I’ve never seen you make a humorous post before. You’re usually very serious and targeted.

Let me get this straight.

The Karens control the school boards and PTAs, and you think it is a union problem?

Assuming the school system can be saved (I don't think it can be); take control of the school boards and PTAs. Run for superintendent on a platform to return to Americanism and a fundamental curriculum that made us great.

Do it in ONE county, journal how you did it and share they blueprint with everyone else.

I think the BEST option is homeschool or charter, and build civic organizations to build your children like Trail Life. I think there is room for another organization that builds MEN. Mentorship. Fellowship. Apprenticeship..

If you have a skill, you pour it into others. Like what scouting used to be about.

Hahaha....good luck with that! The American public school system has become a socialist/NWO indoctrination agency. Parents have given their children over to the system where once you could trust schools to TEACH.... History, Math, Science, etc. Now it’s anti-academics to serve the elitist/leftist purpose. Remember Common Core?

*** It’s ABSURD for teachers to be in a union. Unions belong to those who work with hands. Teachers are professionals like lawyers, bankers, corporate executive. ***

A point I used to make often with my English Teacher mother-in-law. You can’t simultaneously insist calling your selves professionals while insisting on bargaining collectively for wages and benefits. Professions, moreover, are self-regulating. Show me where teachers are members of an organization like the American Bar Association that licenses and regulates their activities? No. Teachers are more like Teamsters.

Re: It’s the teachers

Nearly every teacher in this nation was trained by godless Marxists in Marxist-run colleges and universities. This is true for both private and government schools from pre-K to universities grad schools. Scary!

While I support getting rid of teacher unions, this alone will not be enough.

“The police unions are antifa? I suspect Bob Kroll of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis would disagree with you”

And I suspect YOU might be wrong, considering what BOB himself had to
Say about it...:

“The police federation has historically had more influence over police
culture than any police chief ever could,” said Harteau. “I was fought at
every turn from bringing body cameras to the police department to having
implicit bias training to professional development processes and having
some more consistency in promotions.”

That power of the union (or federation) has often stood in the way of
reform, perpetuating old-school racialised policing tactics and shielding
officers from accountability.

I stand by my assertion, and I further insist that Unions are antithetical to Public Service.

Change My Mind.

YES! Because the WHOLE Purpose of Unions these days is to first attract,
Then put in CHARGE all of the Karens.
(Then cackle as our society is destroyed.)

Same goes for HOAs.

Change My Mind.
