The Teachers’ Unions Are Evil

I won’t say that those who run America’s teachers’ unions hate children. I will only say that they act as though they hate children. The teachers’ unions are the number one obstacle to education reform, by far. They stand in the way of school choice, school safety, and virtually any attempt to improve teacher quality or reform schools in any way. They feed off of, and promote, incompetence and lack of accountability. No one harms America’s youth as much as the teachers’ unions, not even drug dealers.

The latest case in point is the unions’ insistence that our schools remain closed down, even though 

  • 1) scientific opinion is unanimous that schools pose little Covid risk, 
  • 2) schools in Europe are open, and the CDC says that our schools should re-open as well, and 
  • 3) our students and their parents are suffering horribly as a result of this year’s ongoing school closures. Many students, especially low-income minorities, have lost a year of education and likely will never catch up. If it is up to the teachers’ unions, schools will not reopen any time soon, and the damage to an entire generation will be incalculable.

That is the context in which the Chicago Teachers Union tweeted this astonishingly stupid claim:
