Yup! In this day (2012), the teachers' unions are nothing but political arms of the left. Not only are they not needed but they are detrimental to education. However, back in the late 60's when it became legal for teachers here in NYS to bargain with their employers, theunion was instrumental in helping teachers improve their lot in life. But now-they are just political organizations.
But, over the years I have found that people who attack teachers have no clue about what a teacher's job involves.
