Democratic Socialists Team up With Teacher Unions to Radicalize Schools

The radical far-left Democratic Socialists of America that brought the nation Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk are now teaming up with teacher unions to not only keep public schools shut down — but also eliminate access to alternative forms of education.

The Demand Safe Schools campaign, which is backed by the DSA and teacher unions alike, dumps on lawmakers for daring to consider reopening public schools at a time when it’s been proven that remote learning makes it particularly difficult for poor and lower-middle-class children.

At the same time, teacher unions are expressing their anger over the fact that many school districts are allowing families to “opt-in” to fully online virtual academies instead of waiting around to see if public schools will reopen. The unions are demanding that governments cease funding for alternative education options such as charter schools and virtual schools.

Naturally, teacher union and DSA demands aren’t just related to public education. The group says it will oppose the reopening of public schools until the federal government passes a law to tax billionaires (which are already taxed).

Other demands include no reopening until “scientific data supports it”, kicking police out of public schools, public schools being redesigned so they can function as “community” schools, a moratorium on evictions, and direct payments for the unemployed and those unable to work for one reason or another. If the DSA and its acolytes ever got their way, the United States would essentially change overnight.

The demands make it clear that many public school educators are not the least bit interested in providing their students with a high-quality education, preferring to spend time and effort playing political games instead of looking for workable solutions. Predictably, many liberal politicians are all too happy to play politics with them.

Alternative schools are filling a need by providing sound educational opportunities to those who need them most, but this is not a priority for far-left activists.

  1. I’VE BEEN SAYING, EVERY SINCE MY CHILDREN LEFT HI SCHOOL TO BAN THE UNIONS FOR TEACHERS. THEY ARE UNDERPAID FOR WHAT THEY DO. INSTEAD OF PAYING A FOOTBALL PLAYER 500,000,000, HE COUNLD BE PAID A BETER THAN LIVING WAGE AND SPEND THE REST ON TEACHERS.
    THESE UNIONS ARE JUST COMMUNIST FRONTS AND THESE TEACHERS DON’T TEACH, THEY PREACH SOCIALISM AND IT’S SISTER ,COMMUNISM!

  2. the teachers union in the corrupt state of massachusetts are socialist and desreved to be destroyed only the parents of these children can do it vote them out of office vote republican GO TRUMP

      • I disagree. I am a conservative and a teacher. The Union is there to help the teachers keep their pensions and protect our environment from the communist democrats who want to take away what little we have . It is not the Unions that are the problem it is the push from the local politicians to remove text books and the Democratic government that pushed Common Core they were the ones who want us to teach Socialism in the curriculum. This has nothing to do with the Unions. The Union is only there to protect the teachers and our rights as middle class workers. The public does not understand this. Every several years our curriculum changes with the politicians. It is insane! The Union fights for us only and our safety they do not push policies.

        • Sorry but unions are DNC serving outposts for mostly organized DNC workers. And the unions themselves though supposedly representing decent working class people like you have their own agendas. You just have not discovered the truth and may never so long as they give you what you want.

          There was a time when the unions were there for the right reasons and I do NOT believe they still serve the function you believe in so adamantly to be their true intent. I have seen far too much to believe otherwise. And you might find soon that they work around you too and actually do harm in some ways. Their demands often become over stepping the boundaries in greedy moments that have helped to cause the decline of those institutions that were commandeered by unionism. I can think of many unions that have shrunk and even disappeared because of the outrageous demands by the union leaders for their members supposedly.

          And a truth here is that every one can be replaced if they demand too much. There are alternatives to generic schooling or public schooling, good alternatives!

          Today the teachers of the nation have gone too far. Pull back or the alternatives will replace the current main stream teachers. That is the main principle to walk away with here and today. No one is irreplaceable. I think the tech idiots of social media need that reminder as well. Arrogance is failure in many cases.

  3. It is time to abolish the teachers unions. They not only fail to properly teach our children to
    successfully cope in our society but spend
    more of their time indoctrinating them.
    Politics and political agendas should not
    be pushed on to our children.
    Any teacher who feels the need to push
    their agenda on to our children should be
    TERMINATED.
    VOTE EVERY DEMONRAT AND RINO OU TV
    OF OFFICE..PROBLEMS SOLVED..
    LEAVE THE POLICE ALONE..DEFUND THE TEACHERS..

  4. What do you mean they JUST join? You some kind of nuthead? This started way back during Bill Clinton term in office! Union wanted to control the MONEY! Then they can control the system! They got it ALL done! Teacher are NOT QUALITY FOR THE JOBS! Because the UNION control who can teach in PUBLIC SCHOOL! Liberal SOCIALISM crowd has DESTORY the school system! CHANGE EVERYTHING to what they believe! But it only a LIES! Parents should send their children to PRIVATE school or CHRISTIAN SCHOOL BUT NOT PUBLIC SCHOOL!

  5. No wonder schools in this country are below the 35 percentile in education when compared to other countries and yet our teachers are also some of the highest paid too….there are students graduating high school that cannot read..write or have basic math skills..yet they have been indoctrinated in transgenderism..racial social justice and major distortions of our history..the only salvation is to increase homeschooling..school choice and for parents to take charge of our failed education system…

  6. I bet many of these teachers are not even American citizens. Racist Democrats accomplished to make our country the most infected place in the world. Face masks do more harm then good, it is all about killing the American spirit & our way of life. Report to deport. Build the wall!

  7. Trade unions of teachers and, moreover, democratic socialists, like pedophiles, should not be allowed close to our children, because they corrupt the minds of children, like pedophiles corrupt the bodies of children.

  8. I agree teachers’s unions should be eliminated and I am a retired teacher of US history for over 20 years. I never trusted or agreed with the unions and I refused to join their communist organization. Any union that demands that police be defunded or disbanded is no organization that any patriotic American should want to have anything to do with…and demanding that private schools be outlawed is as ridiculous as the police ban. Wake up America these socialists are brainwashing our children, they are not educating them, they are leading them towards communism.

  9. As a Grandmother, as I see it, do not have anything to do with them, instead open up communications with the Charter Schools and maybe Montessori to teach our children instead. We know that they care and that they enjoy teaching their students., it may take some doing to schedule it out but when there is a will, there will be a way! Take it way from the central school system.

  10. The Union in our school system supports Planned Parenthood and donates millions to PP. This is odd since the job of being a teacher demands on having live kids to teach and the teacher’s unions want to kill babies which means less kids. Another problem we had paychecks now start out at $40,000-$45,000 for new hires for only four years of college, no more. If the teachers went on for two more years they get extra money always no matter the classes taken. By the time they retire they are collecting from $77,000-$140,000 a year retirements. That’s why the people in teaching are teaching today not because they love teaching children. We found out that health insurance with the most expensive insurance policies possible years ago was negotiated that the school system would give the union so much a year and the union would be responsible for the health plans of the teachers. Well, there was no requirement for any accounting of the taxpayer money and no requirement to return what the union was not paying out for the health insurance program. Some how a person in town was in a job or position where he could find out that the union was not using all the taxpayer money for the health insurance plans and had close to ten million in the union bank account left over after the insurance for the teachers was paid for. The left over money once a year after the insurance was paid for was put into the union bank account and even listed under a separate account titled health insurance. This baloney was brought up at board meetings seven years ago and nothing was changed when the contract came up for negotiation. No matter who you get on board they never go against the teacher’s union, in fact teacher’s run for the board and have been on the board through the years with no complaint of conflict of interest. Than teachers get paid time for the holidays the same as kids get off and get a summer vacation. The gall of the union, it demanded Christmas be called winter holiday and Easter as spring holiday because of the foreigners suddenly showing up in our school system and adding to the taxes and having to build two new schools and suddenly have religious days and time for prayers five times a day for Muslims and shoes in the hallways but no more opening prayer for Christians, flags for south American kids and kids legally in our town almost lost the right to have the American flag in the class rooms because the flag with rips in it in front of the building was enough. What crap.
