The Day - Weaker unions won't help schools | News from southeastern Connecticut: "Teachers wouldn't have much of a political voice without their union to give them a collective voice. So, if you wanted to weaken teachers' voices, you'd have to weaken their union by creating a false narrative. That narrative contends that the union is the protector of the status quo that's weakening our economy.
Why are teachers and their union the focus of such falsehoods? Teachers didn't wreck the economy. Wall Street investors and shortsighted bankers did. Why do teachers continue to be bashed with the false dichotomy that we cannot be for both positive change for students and for collective bargaining? It's because we've stood tall as a counterweight to the wealthy and powerful interests who want to relegate us to the sidelines in the most important education debate in a generation."
