Dose, you can try to hide the teachers' unions depradations on our economy and our childrens' futures behind kind memories of individual teachers, but you can't hide the depradations perpetrated on our children by spend-thrift Obama leaving them with a huge bag of debts (which, BTW, will require cuts in education funding as well as other core government services and duties). Our children should be scared, and learn to do something about it. Mine will.

Dose, you do with your six-year old what you want, and I'll do what I want. Not "right-wing" but right. He will grow up to know and act upon the difference between right and wrong, and to know who did it to him.
While on the subject, I read to him from original Grimm's, not the sanitized modern versions, so he properly knows the actions to take and the consequences to evil.
As to your opening shot, Dose, the original post into which you introduced your red-herring about fine teachers was not about that but about not-fine teacher unions. You generalizing from the good work of fine teachers to justify run-amock teacher unions is called, in statistics, aggregation error. In commoner parlance, it's called BS.

1. Maybe your dinner was ruined. Ours wasn't. Further, it is not your place to judge, nor the government's, that our children learn that many of those running the government, as well as those funding those-- like unions, are spending our money recklessly. Our children are taught from an early age to save and not to spend what they don't earn and save. Yes, indeedy, they have chores. -- No wonder so many resent the increased intrusion into private lives coming from government bureaucrats.
2. The title and first line of the post were: "California Teachers Say To Heck With Democracy
They know voters are opposed, so to heck with them. Some civics lesson for our children, huh?" Then quotes about California teachers' unions saying that the governor should disregard his election pledge to have voters decide whether to raise taxes. -- You are the one that read that to criticize the classroom performance of individual teachers. That's not what the post did. You need remedial reading instruction, or similar to keep to the point and not try to mislead by taking the point elsewhere in order to avoid its point.

Thank you so much for allowing me to raise my sons, I say sarcastically..

I didn't note you seperating yourself from the teacher unions or their antics.

And, yes, when an organization representing teachers acts thuggishly that is a civics lesson, in what isn't civil.
