Sorry by the education system isn't a welfare system and we should not be protecting teachers at the expense of children. Let teachers live in a free market system like the rest of. Do you think teachers are little children who cannot take care of themselves? Because I am more interested in protecting and educating children with my school dollars than I am in protecting bad teachers from accountability. If they can't teach they should be thrown to the curb at least. I can understand why democratic politicians support teachers unions, they huge amounts of money they force teachers to give them, but why do rank and file democrats support bad education for our young?
Funny how dems think support for people who used to serve trumps support for the people who are actively serving. I guess it is just the socialist nature of the VA that dems find so appealing. Now don't get me wrong my father was a disabled vet and I got nothing against the VA but lets be honest, the warm fuzzy of spending other people's money to help those in need is an aphrodisiac for the average lib.
