Any and every teacher’s union can be customarily pigeon-holed into categories which would include the following: collectivist, Communist, Leftist, Socialist, Demorat.

This would surprise no one with any kind of a rational mind based in reality and not in purple skies.

But don’t teachers’ unions embrace peace, pacifism, understanding and respect common to Laotian monks and Carmelite nuns?

Yes?

Uh, no.

Words of love, pacifism, understanding and non-violence from Michael Mulgrew::

As in:

“If someone takes something from me, I’m going to grab it right back out of their cold, twisted, sick hands and say it is mine!” Mulgrew shouted. “You do not take what is mine!”

“And I’m going to punch you in the face and push you in the dirt because this is the teachers!” he continued. “These are our tools, and you sick people need to deal with us and the children we teach. Thank you very much!”

All of this

At the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) convention last month, Michael Mulgrew, President of the United Federation of Teachers in New York City, delivered a fiery defense of the Common Core standards, slamming the notion that teachers should back down from supporting them.

However, check out the comments of Pia Payne-Shannon, a black teacher, at the 8:42 mark, and listen closely to her words.

Apparently Mr Mulgrew wants to punch Pia Payne-Shannon in the face.

This is what we get from American teachers’ unions.

Let’s check with history.  What did Hitler say about children in his book Mein Kampf?

“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”

Thank you Mr Hitler.

Noted.

Another reason Leftists eschew history — particularly teachers.

Union uber alles!
