There are many groups who despise unions, esp teachers unions

One reason, teacher unions are viewed as a super strong supporter of the democratic party

no one is going to be busting any teachers' unions. If they even attempt it they will soon realize they are on the wrong side with this issue.

already been launched here in Nevada and it came from the Tea Party POS's. Same for the Bust the Culinary Union floated by the Casino Operators Group. It ain't going to happen.

Lets get real,does anyone think our Teachers want to get sick? Do we want our Kids and Grand kids to get sick? No.

I found it very informative and they are sticking to the absolute minimum standard for opening up schools (which most states have not met). All teachers I know are terrified to return to the classroom. Gov Murphy here in NJ has only"recommended" masks of students, not required. No temperature checks of students either... we are sitting ducks.

Every time the GOP messed with teacher unions and strikes recently they came up with the smelly end of the stick...they could lose seats in Oklahoma and Kentucky as a result.
