Chicago story exposes the rank selfishness of US teachers unions
New York Post ^ | December 10, 2020 | New York Post editorial board

Posted on 12/11/2020 5:50:42 AM PST by ConservativeStatement

It was an appalling argument for an even more disgraceful cause: The Chicago Teachers Union tweeted out that the push to reopen schools is “rooted in sexism, racism and misogyny.”

Wiser heads soon deleted the message, though not before one union supporter chimed in, “Been feeling this lately. We can discuss the merits of reopening but the conversation cannot be rooted in white supremacy.” Huh?

It’s the worst sort of mental laziness — throw “racism” and “sexism” charges at anyone who opposes you.

Isn't everything racism, sexism and misogyny in the eyes of the left? Their gullible followers consume the rhetoric and then promote it as fact.

Me and my family got to learn about what teachers’ unions were really about back in the early ‘90s. Helped with my conversion to conservatism.

Teach and you get a pay check. Don’t teach and you don’t get a paycheck. Pretty simple formula. Read whatever you want into it while you sit at home but you will be doing your analysis without a pay check.

The person who was killed via execution in the past day has been a topic of discussion on places such as Twitter. Many people — whites — have compared white men who are not killed via execution and the double standards.

Opening the schools is sexist, because most of the teachers are women.

Opening the schools is racist, because most of the students are hispanic and black.

when parents and students start paying union dues, then unions will care about parents and students

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Liberal logic: If a fireman goes into a burning building and saves a woman’s life, he did his job and that is the end of the story. If a woman teacher is told to go to work to teach, that is sexist.

NEA.

Where you will not find a greater concentration of scum and villainy. (Apologies to Obi Wan.)

May the flies of a thousand camels come to rest on their Starbucks.

May their silly boxtop “Eddikashun” degrees be thrown into the nearest septic tank.

Eff them and the pretend education they rode in on.

Me too. In Ct, teacher unions, backed by Democrats, extorted raises from local communities. If the town refused to agree to contract demands, the state sent in “arbitrators” to impose a contract on a town. Not surprising teacher unions funneled campaign donations and in kind services back to Democrats. Public education is a big racket. Today teachers are so arrogant, they don’t even pretend to teach.

Democrat of color: “I am incompetent by virtue of my skin color or genitalia. No one will allow me to succeed based on my skin color and/or genitalia. Waaaaa...”

Biden already said he’d put y’all back in chains, but somehow you vote for him? N-word, please....

Racism can be found anywhere! All it takes is a little imagination. 🎶I’m a racist, he’s a racist, she’s a racist, we’re all racists, wouldn’t you like to be a racist, too🎶

I think the obvious answer is to fire all the white teachers and administrators. ALL of them.

In Houston, only those who have “education “ degrees, and nothing outside of that degree, may teach. Retired engineers can not teach math and science, since teachers are so much more knowledgeable on the subject matter (right!). In reality, the teachers stick with prewritten lectures that they don’t understand in the first place, written by ejukashun specialist pushing an agenda and have no real knowledge of the subject matter.
