Well, the right wing also wants to destroy education, which is pretty bad for teachers in or out of a union. The teaching profession also has a tendency (far from a universal rule) to select for people with higher compassion and empathy, which has been outright called a "sin" by the right wing. So yeah, if you're mad at teachers' unions for supporting left-wing political causes & politicians, you're, uh, kinda barking up the wrong tree. Or upset at water for being wet. Or something.

> Well, the right wing also wants to destroy education, which is pretty bad for teachers in or out of a union. Teaching has been demolished over the last 30 years under left-wing teaching practices. This isn't even close. > So yeah, if you're mad at teachers' unions for supporting left-wing political causes & politicians, you're, uh, kinda barking up the wrong tree. I'm not, and didn't say that, which probably means you were taught by someone from the US teachng profession in the last 30 years. I'm saying people shouldn't be forced to support political causes they don't believe in.

  ...Where do you get that what demolished teaching over the last 30 years is "left-wing teaching practices"? The biggest change in teaching in the past 30 years was No Child Left Behind, and...I don't know how to tell you this, but that was not under a left-wing administration. > which probably means you were taught by someone from the US teachng profession in the last 30 years Nope. > I'm saying people shouldn't be forced to support political causes they don't believe in. And you're not! No one is forcing you to support the causes the union supports. (Even if some of your dues might go toward supporting them.) Just like no one is forcing me to support the causes our current President supports. (Even if some of my taxes go to supporting them.)
