7 Reasons to Say Goodbye to Teachers Unions

The headline misses the point! We should be saying goodbye to government run public education! In the age of online learning there are fewer and fewer good reasons why government runs our public schools!



One reason: "They [teacher unions] have more money in politics than just about everyone

Both Republicans and Democrats complain about money in politics. Both sides have their boogeyman: George Soros and the Koch Brothers. And yet, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, the NEA was the second largest contributor to political campaigns of any individual, corporation, or union in 2014. In 2016, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and NEA collectively gave $64 million in political contributions compared to only $11 million and $28 million by the Koch brothers and George Soros, respectively."
