America’s hyperpoliticized teachers unions

Byron York, Washington Examiner

The Defending Education report includes many other lefty organizations to which the

nation’s top two teachers unions have contributed. And the $43,524,125 listed in the report is not the entire amount the unions spent on political and ideological causes. But you get the idea. The report is not a surprise, and this kind of spending has been going on for years. Still, it is stunning to confront the hyperpoliticized priorities of unions that are supposedly devoted to education. The money came from the dues of teachers belonging to the unions.
