    I love that they are suing in part over sports and music. I’m sorry, your kids aren’t in school to be entertained.

    Watching a labor dispute, up close and personal, probably taught them more than any extra-curricular activity.

    Teachers are DEFINITELY the issue with schools. Unions are also a huge concern–imagine someone daring to stand up to an employer? The nerve. Why couldn’t they just roll over like all private employees who haven’t gotten their heads screwed on and organized?

    God forbid the taxes we pay provide childcare or that stingy private employers pay enough so that these parents could cover childcare costs understanding a race to the bottom benefits no worker?

    This is a Florida/texas-fed initiative to limit union power, full stop.
