    If I felt as many people feel, I'd pull my kids out of public school and home school them. That way it's a win-win; you are able to instill the values that you believe in and if everyone did this, there would be no need for public schools and thus no teachers, school buildings, administrative staff, etc. The savings in tax dollars would be incredible. So there is a solution for this debacle if people were to go through with it.

    The resolution comes as hate crimes against Jewish Americans are on the rise and progressives across the United States ramp up a campaign of delegitimization and economic pressure against Israel. On Tuesday, House Democratic leadership removed funding for Israel’s missile defense shield from its spending bill, in response to protests from progressive lawmakers.


    AFT national president Randi Weingarten told the Times of San Diego she was "troubled" by parts of the resolution but had no control over the chapter’s decision. The Anti-Defamation League called it "unconstructive and potentially detrimental to San Diego area students, parents, faculty, and administrators." A local Jewish group also condemned the resolution.....snip~

    This is what happens when you have leftists that dont know history. Especially those leftists that call themselves teachers.

    WTF. They are supposed to teach subjects not political stances. why would the union even have a mechanism for such a thing?

    The teachers must be right. Teachers never lie.

    The history of the country of Palestine goes back to...uh? around the year? with boundaries located at? at about the year of?

    Well; maybe if they start their own 1619 project. They will have to make up a year since they have no country at any point of time.

    You are correct and this year enrollment in Charter Schools is off the Charts. Along with a major increase in Home Schooling. Especially in Democrat $#@!holes. So it is moving in that direction.


    Let these teachers and their Unions see that the American people dont give a $#@! about them anymore. Dont care if they lose their jobs. Pensions, benefits. None of it. Lets put them out of work. Out of Money and more importantly, out of relevancy.

    I think home schooling alone is the answer; why pay someone to teach what you hope would be your values when only you as the parent know truly what your moral and civil values are. Charter and private schools can be organized so if you are trying to get away from unions in the schools, you are likely to fail miserably.

    I agree on the Home schooling. But Charter and Private schools now, Counter public schools. So they can be used against Public school teachers and their unions.

    True, unless the unions are successful in organizing them which is always a possibility. If the teachers/staff are unhappy with the terms and conditions of employment they could possibly organize once they see the benefits there counterpart have in the public school districts.

    They have been seeing it for over a decade. The Unions have been failing with that regard. Plus Charter Schools and Private Schools have watched the Demos do all they can to shut them down and limit them.

    The AFT as a body can pass whatever resolutions they want in the political arena as many organizations do. A resolution on a subject is nothing more than a statement of belief on an issue and carries no more weight than that. They cannot as a body or as individual members, alter any school curriculum. So you righties are upset again about nothing.

    That is a very good point. While resolutions can carry some weight, they cannot alter any school curriculum. I think that the unions like any other organization have an unfettered right to express their opinion on any issue; the teachers union just happens to be a very vocal organization which represents their teachers very well on most issues.
