This has been just underneath the surface of the whole teachers in school argument from the beginning. And it makes perfect sense. If the teachers don’t want to work, don’t make them. Simply replace them! This is at Breitbart:
On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Kennedy,” Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) stated that California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) should treat teachers’ unions the same way President Reagan treated air traffic controllers, “order them back to work, if they don’t go back to work, replace them.”
A lot of parents have already done this. While plenty of students have been ignoring their Zoom classes and not turning in homework, parents who could afford to, have been either teaching their kids at home, or sending them to pods.
This of course has led to some outrage from some teachers. They don’t want to create a situation where underprivileged children don’t have access to education you see. This would fly in the face of the god of “equity.” Their point is that if not all kids can access a good education, no one should. It makes sense for them for another reason too. If the parents start to like the education that their kids are getting, they won’t need the union teachers.
This is a problem for Democrats. They rely on the unions to kick back some of the tax money, that they ensure flow to the teachers, into their reelection coffers. Weening them off of that nipple would help us all, but they aren’t interested in helping us, only themselves.
It seems like kicking the teachers unions to the curb would help us all in a couple of ways. Democrats would get less money for election funds, teachers would have to actually produce a good product, and parents would get a say on who they hire to instruct their kids. It would help curb the left wing indoctrination that teachers force into our kids heads, instead of the supposedly racist math they should be teaching.
