We are already importing Indian teachers into this country. They imported quite a number in the South. My job is safe because I doubt there are any Indian teaches with my outstanding qualifications. With a union, or without one, I feel my quest for continuing excellence professionally will always be rewarded, if not in this country, than in another. My husband, too, grows professionally every year- and we reap the rewards. I am sorry for people who are mediocre (mediore, remember, merely means average), and who cannot compete. But protecting their non-competitiveness can only be a short term answer- surely you see that trade wars lie in the direction you suggest. And how, exactly, can the US survive a trade war when most of the things we use are manufactured overseas? It is not easy to say that I am against protectionism. Protectionism is the easy answer- it would be so nice if it were the right answer. But if logic alone does not tell you this is the wrong answer, then history should tell you that.
