Liberty is for me…

Across the country, schools started this week and some start after Labor Day.  You would think it would be smooth sailing for parents and kids. However, leave it to unions to screw up the beginning of the school year.

Both in the District of Columbia and Scranton, PA union members screamed a storm over compensation packages and announced a strike. In DC, teachers are opposed to Chancellor Rhee’s plan to end tenure -  seniority - and Scranton teachers are upset that contract will expire on August 31st and they haven’t figured out next years. Oh boo hoo, they will start school without a contract - get over it!

But the story gets humorous, a DC union member had this to say about Rhee’s plan:

“It is degrading and insulting for teachers to have to interview with a principal before accepting a position in that school,” Brocks says.

Hahaha! Shut the eff up. Insulting and degrading? Come on.

Millions of Americans undergo interviews to acquire employment. Why should teachers be exempt?

What’s scary is that there are only a few of us that know and are willing to stand up to status quo bullies.

According to a National Institute for Labor Relations Research, 2.0 million teachers across the country are willing to buy into union nonsense.

Yikes!

However, our friends at the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and the Association of American Educators’ have launched a campaign to empower teachers and help them escape evils of collective bargaining.

Amen!
