Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi
Well I guess I was assumed that you were politically aware enough to understand the context. I won't make that mistake again.
Please, turn off the partisan rhetoric. FYI I'm a liberal Democrat living in one of the most liberal cities in America, so that shtick isn't going to work on me. And there is absolutely nothing progressive about policies that favor archaic dinosaurs like unions, at the expense of the most vulnerable members of society: Poor students in inner cities, who are mostly minorities, who mostly come from uneducated families, and who have little hope for a better future unless our schools are fundamentally reformed.
Standing in the way of helping THEM so that we can provide teachers with nearly total job security is disgusting.
I didn't misunderstand. You said interest and not interest group.

theplaydrive said:Regardless the point still stands, low-income minority students and their schools are a corporate interest and the those corporations love the Republican Party and hate unions.
