“Kids don’t have a union”

This could be the best political news of the decade, if someone will sieze the opportunity.

It’s worth saying again: If the twittish, PC L.A.Times is now going after the teachers’ unions, those unions have lost the PR battle in the mainstream press. Does President Obama (“We can afford nothing but the best when it comes to our children’s teachers”) know this? Do the Republicans who are desperately looking for an issue to use against the Dems?

Bear in mind that the teachers’ unions are not a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party – it’s the other way around. The national union alone has more paid political operatives than both major parties combined. The damage to this country that is done by other unions, like in the automobile industry, pales compared to the damage done by the teachers’ unions.
