- @teacherken And many are in unions not by choice, but by closed shop laws, which requires teachers to either be members of pay agency fees in reply to teacherken #
- @teacherken Essentially, many teachers are members not by choice, but by force. in reply to teacherken #
- @teacherken In any case, an organization exists outside of its members. It is a separate entity all its own in reply to teacherken #
- @teacherken the fact that a union represents members doesn’t mean it represents the full views of all members. in reply to teacherken #
- @teacherken So no, Tilson or I criticizing #AFT #NEA does not equal criticizing teachers. To make that argument is absolutely illogical. in reply to teacherken #
- @teacherken And worse, anti-common sense and anti-intellectual. in reply to teacherken #
- @teacherken I don’t hate unions. I am opposed to outfits whose policies result in the condemning millions of children to prison and poverty. in reply to teacherken #

- @tvanderark it’s about keeping Congress right now. The polls don’t look good for House Ds or for Senate Ds. #edreform in reply to tvanderark #
- @tvanderark The latter will keep control of the Senate /c of numbers; the House Ds less so. #edreform in reply to tvanderark #
