It’s not enough that public school teachers and the college professors who train them are increasingly prone to teaching leftist absurdities like “2+2=5” or presenting the mendacious 1619 Project as legitimate American history. Teachers unions are now trying to blackmail the entire country into meeting a set of leftist political demands for reopening the schools this fall, using COVID-19 as their excuse.
Of course, the pandemic certainly presents challenges for re-opening schools, but other sectors of society have managed to rise to the occasion over the past several months to keep the country running.

You bet it's time to break this crazy union up. I say, let them stay home and hire new young teachers that want and need a job.

Ever since the public school teachers got unionized, the quality of our educational system went down the toilet. They also did a pretty good job of destroying and radicalizing our children's brains.

Sure you want these "liberals" to return to having the education of our children? Agree #1, but how to insure the "new young teachers" are not more of the same? Now take a look at the textbooks that have been purchased under Common Core... how many years before new ones can be purchased (they are expensive)... and who will vet them for accuracy and truthfulness?

"Humanism, the religion of Satan" and all that is evil, was declared a "Religion" by our supreme court in 1961, yet it is allowed to be taught in our public schools.
Meanwhile, to just say one work of The one true religion, "The religion of God our Father creator of all I AM THAT I AM, is banned by government law.
“The battle for mankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classroom … The classroom must and will become the arena of conflict between old and new --- the rotting corpse of Christianity and the new faith of humanism.”
--The Humanist Magazine, Jan./ Feb. 1983 – John J. Dunphy
“Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism. What can a theistic Sunday school’s meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?”
--Humanism; A New Religion
“I think that the most important factor moving us toward a secular society has been the educational factor. Our schools may not teach Johnny how to read properly, but the fact that Johnny is in school until he is sixteen tends toward the elimination of religious superstition. The average American child now acquires a high school education, and this militates against Adam and Eve and all other myths of alleged history.”
--P. Blanchard, The Humanist, 1983

A traitor is more to be feared than a conqueror, and we have a public, a government, brimming to overflow with traitors. Destruction from within.
Teachers of evil that exists in their own minds.
“Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state.”
--Adolph Hitler
“Give me your four year old's, and in a generation I will build a socialist (Communist) state.”
--Vladimir Lenin
“Our enemy is not those with guns, but missionaries with Bible.”
--Jiang Zhernin - Head of the Communist Party –People’s Republic of China
"Ideas (of freedom) are more dangerous than guns. We don’t let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?"
--Josef Stalin
"The thoughts of the individual means nothing. The only thoughts that means anything are the thoughts in the minds of the collective leadership."
--Josef Stalin
“Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.”
--Joseph Stalin, former dictator of the Communist Soviet Union

My mother was one of the few people on her campus who voted republican.
I don't even know if a conservative education student would be able to land a job these days.
The democrats have dominated hiring almost as effectively as in hollywood.

Pull all federal funds from education. Especially the universities! Make students go to private banking for their school loans. Put K thru 12 back in the hands of the communities where they're located.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Or maybe not.

Nobody getting taxpayer money for their paycheck should be able to unionize. This goes from police to border patrol to teachers to IRS employees. Those unions take forced funds out of each paycheck, donate those funds to democrats who then do what they can to increase the public union power whether it be from increased pay or increased employees or increased restrictions on why and how they can be fired. This ensures a massive amount of votes for democrat politicians. What is it? 90% of DC voters voted for Hillary? It's because they all work for the government and are in public unions. Hillary was going to make sure their gravy train kept rolling along.
On the flip side, if public unions are so great, let's unionize the military. "Sorry Mr. President. We can't respond the North Korea's nuclear attack on Seattle at the moment because the Navy and Air Force are on strike".

Basically the message ‘the teachers’ are sending is We Care More About Your Children than You Do!
The ‘teachers’ making demands that have nothing to do with Teaching Children are ludicrous..

The Federal money for Education should be transferred to Americans needing cash because they have lost jobs or must stay home and school their children.
Easily $1200 per adult.

Of course they demand to be paid their normal salary without going in to teach in person. They need that time to riot in the streets with their clubs such as BLM and antifa. The communists need to be destroyed.

Make a requirement that teachers must have at least two years of work experience in industry or military, before they are allowed to teach children. No more teachers straight out of college, with no real-world work experience. Nothing worse than a 21-year old inexperienced snowflake having access to our children's minds!

Like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers that refused to work, we should do the same to teachers that are refusing to return to their classrooms. After all, the "remote learning" has now become the responsibility of the parents. Besides a vast majority of teachers feel their job is indoctrination not education.
