Ass I have repeated opined for several years, there is NO legitimate reason or purpose for ANY Public Employee to be permitted to be a member of any Union or “Worker’s Association” whatsoever. NONE.

As FDR noted, Government Employee Unions should be ILLEGAL, as they are on both sides of the bargaining table.....(against the taxpayer!).

If it's so dangerous that one must wear a mask and practice "social distancing", then it's too dangerous to gather in person.

Hold those who perpetuated this fraud upon this country until they're all exposed and charged for what they've done.

Martin Sheen’s character hid behind a child when the assassin was ready to shoot. That supposedly did not end well for the character in that movie. I wonder how Stephen King would write this ending.

1. "emotional needs"? What is that supposed to mean? Is that a code phrase for the leftist indoctrination: "Ze children must think the correct thoughts!"

2. The unions will just do the time-honored Demo thing and demand a new study. Keep doing studies until they get one that fits their preconceived beliefs. SOP for Dems.

3. Home Schooling. Now here is something that conservatives should be all over. Make sure you know ALL the rules and laws of your state before you start, so the lefties will have a minimal chance of tripping you up (they WILL try).

Grass roots organize the bejeezus out of it, across state lines, too. Push the state for funding, back legislators, or potential legislators to pass new laws supporting Home Schooling.

I mean, the lefties are already doing it with virtual schools. This would just be another step. WE need to take control and this is a good place to start.

My two cents. End rant...

Teachers/professors who are union members .... a more disgusting group of people you will never meet!

Univ professors have grad students who do MOST of the work and yet the professors constantly whine about their own ‘workload’

Some union thug in Pennsylvania called parents “jerks” in an article.

The parents, like good conservatives took ownership and printed T-shirts.

Sage advice.

If you make the wise decision to homeschool, the first thing you should do is join Home School Legal Defense (HSLDA.org)

You can learn the state rules and also be indemnified if there is a legal issue. (And there will be. The education cabal is losing money and will fight for every paycheck to be in a desk.

“emotional needs”?


Not sure of the official definition but I would suggest it just means allowing children to socialize and play with their friends and not be under house arrest for a year.

You are correct, and the Deep State will never be eradicated until government employees unions are banned.

libertylover agrees, except they might be allowed to be a part of an unrelated union, say a plumber's union.

A high school teacher that lives in my condo community is absolutely loving this shut-down nonsense. For almost a year now, he’s hasn’t had to “deal with the brats” in the classroom and uploads a 40 minute daily lesson for all his classes to watch at their own leisure and assigns homework. He does ZOOM one-on-one sessions for students who want extra help but that’s about it. If classrooms never open again, he’ll be perfectly fine with that.

Why haven’t the people most affected demanded that they quit paying teachers who don’t return to their classrooms by a certain date? I know the Unions would take such action to Court, but it should be tried.

I am sorry, but what has that to do with Martin Sheen? What character did he play?
