Amazes me that these wackos actually believe they're more qualified to teach their kids better then real teachers who train for it for years

> By Lee Duigon
> With the teachers’ union in New Jersey publicly praying for Gov. Chris Christie’s death, and the teachers’ union in Wisconsin shutting down the schools while they protest at the state house â€" they’ve enticed their students to join them, and found corrupt doctors to give them “sick notes†so they can be paid for walking off the job â€" can we as a nation please, finally, admit that the time has come to abolish public education?
> Public education is the teachers’ unions. And what are the teachers’ unions all about?
> Listen to Robert Chanin, who retired last year as general counsel for the National Education Association, the world’s biggest teachers’ union. In his farewell address, Chanin told us what the teachers’ union is all about. (Video of his speech is readily available on YouTube.) After complaining about “conservative ba****rds†picking on the poor little NEA with its three million members, Chanin boasted about the “hundreds of millions†of dollars the union contributes every year to left-wing politics and politicians. He called the NEA “the nation’s leading advocates for public education and the types of liberal social and economic agenda that these [right-wing] groups find unacceptable†â€" including homosexual “marriage,†ObamaCare, heavy-handed statist measures to “save the planet†from imaginary man-made Global Warming, all sorts of taxpayer-funded largesse to illegal aliens, and so on. All of these, and many more, are found
> on the list of formal resolutions adopted by the NEA at its 2010 national convention.
> Meanwhile another big fat teachers’ union, the United Federation of Teachers, spent $1.4 million last year, in the middle of a recession, on its 50th anniversary bash. Said UFT President Michael Mulgrew: “I’m not going to apologize for spending money to service our members.†His choice of words is telling.
> Where do the teachers’ unions get those hundreds of millions of dollars â€" not to mention a few hundred thousand for golf lessons at fancy country clubs â€" which they donate, annually, to try to turn America into a socialist hell-hole? From teachers’ union dues, of course â€" dues that must be paid whether the individual teacher wants to support “gay marriage†or not.
> Here’s how the system works. Democrat politicians sign the unions to sweetheart contracts â€" the sweeter, the better. The more they pay the teachers, the more money the union can collect in dues. Having collected the dues, the union leadership transfers boxcar-loads of money to Democrat political campaigns. It isn’t much of an exaggeration to describe the teacher unions as the funding machine of the American Left.
> And all the while, in the public schools, union members teach America’s children a catechism of big government, evolution, “celebration†of aberrant sexual behaviors, atheism, abortion, anti-capitalism, anti-Americanism, and anti-Christianity. Any teacher who does not do so is simply not following the union’s agenda. But we suspect, because a majority of teachers elect the radical union leaders and adopt the radical resolutions, that the majority of public school teachers have signed on to the agenda.
> And so it goes. Work nine months out of the year, gain tenure, rake in princely benefits that people in the real world can only fantasize about, retire at 55, and enjoy a handsome pension for doing jack-diddly nothing for the rest of your life. The politicians force the ungrateful peasants to pay for it all. And if their kids come out of your schools just a little better educated than a throw rug â€" tough!
> We can’t afford these crazy contracts anymore. We can’t afford those teacher pensions, the like of which are so far out of our own reach that they might as well be on Mars. And we can’t afford to have our children’s minds massaged by teachers’ unions!
> Any Christian who supports the public schools is siding with the enemy. But if Christians en masse removed their children from the public schools, the whole financial edifice would come crashing down.
> Kill the teachers’ unions, and radicalism in America dies.
> It’s hardly necessary to cite the inexhaustible statistics that show homeschooled children, and children educated in Christian schools, dramatically outperforming public school students by every academic measure known to man. If you’re not doing one or the other, look into it today.
