OPINION: Are Teacher Unions The Biggest Threat To Freedom?

What is the biggest threat to freedom in our country? According to an eye-opening new book by educator Rebecca Friedrichs, who gained fame as the named plaintiff in a U.S. Supreme Court case challenging forced fees from teachers to unions, teacher unions are thwarting freedom on a massive scale.

In her must-read book “Standing Up to Goliath,” Friedrichs, writes, “Throughout my twenty-eight years as a teacher forced to fund unions, and two decades as a parent with children in union-controlled public schools, I have witnessed union forces bully and intimidate teachers, parents, and children.”

“Among other things,” she says, “I’ve watched as union leaders have drowned out debate at school board meetings, pushed for sexually explicit sex education lessons, groomed students and teachers to become social justice warriors, and used indefensible intimidation tactics to bring down anyone who refused to cower to the control of state and national unions.”

Reading the tales of outrageous union tactics in Friedrichs’ book will shock you.

Think about it. For over 200 days a year, for over six hours a day, these union members have all of our children as a captured audience, one that is subject to whatever is told to them, and tested on it.

Public schools are the devil's playground

There should be a new amendment to the constitution that prohibits unions from forming when working for the government at any level.

When unions work for the government, the people that pay the bills (taxpayers) have no say in the negotiations.

Spot on 1:44...Government/Public Schools continue to fail in every way; dumbing down our children at a Rapid pace. Now generation(s) to include Teachers have been fooled as well. No education, only indoctrination and they don't even realize it. Our nation is falling behind even 3rd World countries. WHY don't Parents see what's happening and Protest or get their children out of these Dumbing Down, Indoctrination Warehouses?

Any Union is a threat. But the teachers union is the worst because half don't even have a teaching degree. More UNEDUCATED government assistance members. They talk about the separation of church and state. Why do African Americans get to use STATE funded schools for church?? Or any other use whites can't get.

There's a real problem with the young blacks entering their teen years about having to be "around white people". Where's all this ignorance and hate being taught?!?
