Public unions exist solely to fleece the taxpayer.

Especially police, and fire fighters. In Texas, those are the only public unions that are allowed to collectively bargain. The teachers unions here mostly represent teachers during disciplinary hearings, and lobby the Legislature on education issues, and overall are pretty harmless.

Maybe this will finally break the stranglehold they have on education and the students can actually win.
yup, the letter to the FBI calling concerned parents "domestic terrorists" jumped the shark. Then again, the dems have been jumping so many sharks lately it's tough to keep up.

Agreed! No way 47 states should allow union thugs to manipulate elections and extort money from public employees.
