It's unecessarily divisive that criticism on teachers' unions is labeled "right-wing". It's also linguistically dishonest to call policy measures "attacks" and "assaults". Sometimes organizations become so detached from reality and everyday life that minor changes become necessary. But rather than engage with their detractors, the unions seem to sic the media on them.

- CWuestefeld 4y agoIf you want to parse it that finely, then pretty much ALL policy is an attack. E.g.: The school board sets a budget, the result of which is that I have to pay some tax. If I don't pay that tax, they'll eventually forcibly remove me from my home. That's plainly an attack.
