The Constitution lost its validity when Lincoln refused to remove American troops from a foreign country in 1861. He went on to further destroy the document before FDR put the nail in its coffib.
You don't think other unions do the same? Personally, I don't like unions influence in the Democratic party, but it is what it is.
In 2004 the teachers unions donated a little over $4,000,000 to political campaigns (94% of which was given to Democrats). In 2020 that amount had soared to over $54,000,000 (97% of which was given to Democrats). I'm sorry, Admiral but the other unions are NOT doing what the teacher's unions have done! It's not even close. What disturbs me most about those numbers is that according to PEW only about 58% of teachers identify as liberal...yet the mandatory dues of the other 42% support only Democrat candidates!
Why are you stating the obvious? The current leadership of the NEA and AFT suck balls! However, the local unions do a pretty damn good job at ensuring teachers get due process in cases of alleged misconduct. Most teachers, in my experience, would prefer not to even have a union represent them in contract negotiations, because without the right to strike, the union is a toothless tiger. They get to say, "Please, sir, may I have some more?" and the district simply says, "No, you may not, and you will like whatever we give you!" How do you think teacher nationwide are the second worst paid government profession?
Teachers have the right to collective bargain in 34 States, Admiral. But let's be honest here...why would you ever need to strike when your "bosses" were put in power because of the millions of dollars that you contributed to their election campaigns? Like THOSE guys are going to play hardball with you? Come on, get serious!
I believe 12 US States give public employees the right to strike...in addition to the 34 that allow collective bargaining. You might want to get your facts straight before you accuse others of ignorance.
Where did I say otherwise, dumbass? They are most likely in deep blue states, correct? They also happen to be in states where the average teacher pay is much higher.
"You are confused by your ignorance of terminology. Collective bargaining, yes! Right to strike? No!"
Collective bargaining does not include the right to strike. Neither of the states where I worked had the right to strike but we had collective bargaining rrights.you don't understand the difference.
blue cities are suffering from a violent crime emergency .."National Guard troops patrolling the streets of U.S. cities. Weapons of war deployed against international gangs suspected of drug trafficking. Military bases and resources redirected to mass immigration enforcement operations.
Trump is swiftly implementing his vision of the military as an all-powerful tool for his policy goals. It’s ground that presidents have hardly ever crossed outside of times of war, and experts say it’s remaking the role of the most powerful military in the world and its relationship with the American public.
Yet as Trump has dramatically stepped up his use of military force, fellow Republicans in Congress — where authorization for such actions is supposed to originate — have done little but cheer him on. That’s giving the president significant leeway as he raises plans to send troops next to Chicago, Baltimore and New Orleans."

In 2003, sociologist Devah Pager sent a shockwave through the employment world with an audit study that revealed a brutal truth about American hiring practices.1 Setting out to discover the effects of having a criminal record on employment, she found something that made national news: Black men without a criminal background were called back for interviews at about the same rate as white men with felony convictions on their applications.
This wasn't about criminal justice—it was about deeply embedded racial bias in hiring. Two decades later, has anything changed?
The answer, according to the latest research, is a resounding "No."

Notice the date this article was pubished. Not 1925, 1965, but this year. A white felon has the same chance of getting job as a black college grduate. A white --- can drop out of school in the 8th grade, sell drugs, go to prison, get released with a felony on his record and have the same chance of gettig a job as a black college graduate. So STFU white man, you don't know wtf you're talking about and it is time people like you shut your damn mouths and started listening. Stop using one city or one black person to make claims about all black peopler. David Duke exists so I guess that means all whites are racists.
You're the dumb ass that didn't seem to know that teachers in 12 States DO have the right to strike!
When did I say that? There are many states, like NY, IL, PA, and CA that have teachers strikes every year.You're the dumb ass that didn't seem to know that teachers in 12 States DO have the right to strike!
