1.  Why get rid of the department of education?  Why not work to make it run better?  We're a big country, you can't have uniform education administered to the nation without a centralized hierarchy.  Your a  military man, you should understand that.

 

2.  Union dues are like 14 bucks a pay check, at least in NM...  Unions aren't the problem, the Secretary of Education here in NM has done more to harm teachers and the educational environment with her push to standardize test and hold teachers accountable to that then the unions have.

 

Matter of fact, without the Unions existence, the Secretary of Education in NM would be doing alot more harm.  Having the ability to organize in order to provide a single solid voice of disagreement is helpful.  Especially in a democratic system.
