Two weeks ago, I responded to the Union’s strong-arming of schools participating in the state’s private school voucher program in the National Review Online , writing:If unions do not like vouchers, there are plenty of outlets for them to voice their distaste. If they wish to change the law, they should lobby their legislators. If they don’t like the governor, they should try and vote him out in the next election. If they don’t like the way the court rules, they should camp outside in protest. Any of these remedies are well within both their rights and the scope of appropriateness and decency. In attempting to recall Governor Jindal, the Louisiana teachers’ unions are shifting their efforts to a more appropriate venue. In the words of a dear Irish friend of mine, “fair play to them.” Now, rather than threatening teachers and school leaders eager to serve low-income students, they will have to make their case in front of the electorate. This is a good thing.supporting the voucher program . For the sake of context, unions and their allies were unsuccessful in unseating Scott Walker, and he had won his previous election only 52% to 46%.aei-ideas.org
