The NEA and AFT are two of the top 13 all-time donors to the Democratic Party since 1978, giving nearly $12.4 million to Democrats as of June 2003, according to the Center for Public Integrity. townhall.com One of my chief complaints of the two major teacher's unions is that public education is basicly a tax paid government monopoly and as such I question the ethics of the NEA and AFT acting largely as adjuncts to the Democratic Party. * * *

How do you feel about vouchers? If you are opposed, how do you explain their great success in Milwaukee along with the support of the disadvantage there who are taking advantage. In the NY area i have seen the advantages of catholic schools for many disadvantaged kids, many not even catholics. To me urban public schools are often out of control and suburban schools are bogged down in bureacracy and shoddy administration. My wife is/was a teacher--a good one, pretty much driven from the classroom by incompetent and sometimes corrupt administrators. And then there is tenure but i will not go there.
