OPEN LETTER TO Education UNION BASHER: Whitney TIlson

NEA is changing their stance on teacher evaluations. And for the record locals can and have been stronger and more progressive with their stances on key education issues before their state or national affiliate comes around. Don't get it twisted. I'm getting tired of your broad stroke union bashing. I have been a member of both NEA and AFT and you always make them out to be the villain in your "war scenario." I think its easier for people in secure financial situations to look down on unions, but historically and currently they are the only ones still fighting for the middle class and legislation that helps all Americans: work place safety, pensions, social security, ending child labor, creating the concept that workers are people too... just to name a few.
