    Too many people are ignorant of the role Unions played in American history. I assume they were brought up in places where the GOP controls the schools.

      I was actively taught in high school that “unions were nice, but not necessary any more, they get in the way of all our very cool free trade!”

      Obviously, my thinking on that has changed a whole lot, but both my partner and I got fed that kind of rhetoric straight out of text books.

        I’m guessing teacher unions weren’t a thing where you were raised.
