[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this thread even a thing?  Who cares if people are still blaming the union?  Like it matters [/quote]

That's because you have no political sense. If I were WTU, I'd be very worried. WTU right now is about as popular in DC as the Proud Boys. This pandemic has convinced a lot of parents that teachers unions are as bad as police unions. If politicians believe WTU is a toxic organization and voters will judge them based on their relationship with WTU, then WTU is fkced. There's a lot more parents than teachers.  [/quote]

Woah, you lie in a delusional bubble. I'm actually shocked....you're nuts. Many high SES white families are upset, some POC but majority of people may be disappointed or still want DL but they do not think of teachers are essentially a terrorist group. If that was the case I'd get a good laugh because if teachers are as bad as racists/murderers then you're ok with you're child being taught by a racist and a murderer.....[/quote]

"Teachers" =/= the WTU

Yes, obviously the two are linked, but I've come to think that a lot of teachers don't support the WTU (and the charter teachers largely aren't unionized).[/quote]

Anyone who has been to the clusterF that is a union meeting can attest to this. To think that the WTU is some powerful lobby is some serious cognitive dissonance. The only time they accomplished anything to do with reopening was when they successfully filed their PERB complaint. If you have a problem with an organization trying to protect its members rights from being stomped on, that says more about you than the union.

Additionally, Teachers voted STRONGLY against striking, but that probably doesn’t fit your proud boys terrorists narrative. [/quote]

Except teachers did go on strike. No one called it that, because that had serious legal implications that people were trying to avoid, but that's what it was. They refused to go to work so schools couldn't open (even though daycares and private schools and public schools most everywhere else were open). [/quote]
