Mitt Romney thinks Teachers Unions are what's wrong with education in America

Running as hard to the right in the primaries means that Mitt Romney has had to become the hateful, judgmental, elitist obstructionist - a badge of honor in the insurgency now known as the GOP. Among the literally dozens of preposterous positions he now inhabits with fervor is this one...






As Matt Miller notes, "[The] reality is this: The top performing school systems in the world have strong teachers unions at the heart of their education establishment. This fact is rarely discussed (or even noted) in reform circles. Teachers Unions are not the problem. Teachers are not the problem. Want more?

It's time for facts to inform policy, rather than partisan crap. Romney and the GOP must be defeated if we are to raise funding for our schools and I think we take it from our massively over-funded military. Agree?
