Teacher unions are not reformers or student advocates, despite what the striking teachers in L.A. would have us believe. As Jason L. Riley writes in the WSJ, “Teachers unions are unions first.” Their real agenda—their only agenda—is to protect their members by any means possible.

How Deplorable Can It Get?
How bad is this? White, male, Christian, attendees at the annual March for Life in Washington, and wearers of MAGA hats. “What’s not to dislike?” asks the WSJ. “So when four minutes of video footage emerged online this weekend showing the students appearing to harass a Native American Vietnam veteran named Nathan Phillips, America’s media […]
