re: #70 calochortus

I agree that it doesn’t necessarily correlate with attacking education, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be part of a broader attack either. Teachers in private schools often have incentives other than just remuneration (more parent involvement, fewer ‘difficult’ students, sharing the mission of a specific school, whatever.)

Agreed. But I do think unions need to change and give a little. There are places where teachers pay virtually nothing toward their health insurance, eg. They can give a little on that, and when they refuse, people get justifiably angry. So, it’s a legitimate pocketbook issue to talk about unions.
