The public education system is ruled by the NEA union.

State University employees are also under union authority. Some employees who pay union dues don't like where their dues get spent.

Dues usually embolden union coffers, ( so that they can have more influence in the next election, in order to keep unions wealthy, somebody's makin' a dime ) ( Work conditions are not so bad in our Universities .. pretty cushy ) Unions know that if they push Democratic extremism, they will always survive. Union "wealth" depends on it.

Educators in this country should not be bought by political money. In other words, too many teachers are led by the Democratic Party throughout their own education. Then, they become obligated to influence college students to vote for Democrats. Everyone in the system is brainwashed.

Unions will get rough with you if you don't comply.


Is a heavily dominated left-wing educational system fair in the United States?

Wow,

No one cares about their children's outlook. Even at the hand of left-wing doctrine.

Very telling.

Well, I can say with assurance that you can't be more than half right. Half the country is organized by the NEA and the other half by the AFT.

So maybe you're making some blanket assumptions, huh?

Yooperkat thinks and spells like someone that was paying more attention to sports than to learning in school. He is an exemplary form of the ignorant Right Winger. Typically “I know what I know and I don’t care to see if it’s wrong.”

Without Unions to represent out teachers we would not have any worth having. Town governments would have kept wages below poverty and kept teaching a ghetto for unmarried women.

FWIW - the academic work place is one of the most difficult to enter and survive. It is one of the most vicious bureaucracies ever created. The road to promotion and tenure (political freedom) is about as nasty as it gets. No free ride there. High schools are not much better.

I'm very sorry that school didn't work for you.
