I’m going to up the ante by adding that conservatives are similarly wrong to come down hard on teachers unions and teacher tenure.
Similar to the point the author makes, most school principals are liberals and would give negative evaluations to those who questioned bilingual education and other fads.
Public schools are regulated monopolies, where unions make sense because there’s so few private schools around that teachers have no leverage; you can’t threaten to quit and take your chalkoard to the private school across the street.
Instead of writing their weekly exposes as to how teachers unions protect – duh! – teachers, conservatives would be much better off raising money to keep and expand Catholic schools and electing pro-Charter School board members.
