They think that they need the union because when they go and sign their paperwork in on their first day, basically they're told, if you don't have us, you're going to get sued by all the students and you're going to lose your job and you're going to go to jail.

You need legal representation from your union.

So even if a conservative goes in and wants to just focus on the basics, keep their head down,

and not be engaged in the political activities.

They think they need to sign this paperwork and get involved with the union just out of self-interest that they want to protect themselves.

But the thing is, there are other groups that are providing this liability insurance even for free.

This is just how it's always been.

This is how it has to be.

That's one of your homework assignments if you're a teacher.

You would be crazy if you're a conservative or independent or libertarian or even a rational Democrat.

who just wants to focus on academics as opposed to activism, you would be crazy to continue giving your hard-earned paycheck to people like Randy Weingarten and Becky Pringle, who make over half a million dollars a year, who put their thumb on the scale and make the entire profession look bad by fighting with conservatives every day.

I mean, Randy's book labeled all conservatives as fascist, and she even went on MSNBC and
