Teachers unions fight “for the kids?” Not exactly.

The Free Enterprise Nation - Teachers unions fight “for the kids?” Not exactly.
"The National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers stood up alongside Senator Tom Harkin, asking Congress to pass the Keep Our Educators Working Act.

The bill provides $23 billion in federal funding to local school districts so they can avoid having to make job cuts for the 2011 school year.
Harken said “This bill is an investment in our kids, in our economy, and in our future.”

We agree that nobody wants to see students in overcrowded classes, which could happen if the predicted 300,000 teaching job cuts were to happen.

However, if we, the American taxpayers, are giving one select group of people $23 billion to save their jobs, it would only be fair if we were able to receive some concessions from the teachers unions in exchange for our generosity."

We've seen where the teacher's unions love points.
And it don't point to even one kid.
It is self-love at its worst.
