Who is doing this to teachers and how:

Every issue that every state faces and the nation as a whole, with Senators Paul, Ryan, Cruz and others that are in the Koch camp, can be linked back to Koch dollars and those like them on the state level. They are tearing the country apart and we must vote all of them out and call them on it as Harry Reid has done here:

There's an OP with a video posted in it on this at DU:

This data has been available since 2012 and in my state there were two Democrats who were in it and they quit the organization in 2012. None of the GOP left and they compose their numbers in statehouses nationally.
