It rivals AFT for that honor. The rank and file teachers union dues and “Vote Cope “ funds are sent all over the country to support candidates with radical Marxist clap trap positions . Our union has been coopted . We need a federal investigation into this unions use of funds and its behavior. This union has become dangerous. wendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848074287601838480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-38421949500951553352017-01-16T12:58:19.454-05:002017-01-16T12:58:19.454-05:00Interesting read.

Probably most of the teaching jobs upstate are in those cities.<br /><br />I just read a "messaging" article through Salon.<br />http://www.salon.com/2017/01/15/dont-think-of-a-rampaging-elephant-linguist-george-lakoff-explains-how-the-democrats-helped-elect-trump/<br />He covered a lot, and even mentioned unions as giving workers freedom from corporate servitude. <br />If the AFT message combined the freedom from testing as a way to "nurture" the students and the community as a whole, unions wouldn't be painted as "the other". We would be part of the community.

And reinforcing suspicions that the union is incapable of fulfilling its core mission: advocating for its actual and dues-paying membership.<br />The lefties ought to realize there are other outlets and vehicles to fight for social change that don't destroy union credibility but...well...you know...some of them are the very folks who think it is good to be associated with BLM.
