Immorality Reaches Its Zenith With Teacher Unions
There are three courts where injustice is judged: legal courts, courts of public opinion or the heavenly court of destiny — karma.
The Bible (James 3:1) says: “Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.” If presumptuous teachers will be more harshly judged, won’t their protection agencies, the unions, be even more harshly dealt with?
Look up — rent-seeking teacher unions — and you’ll find a whole category of economics showing how teacher unions and their “insider” dealings (rent-seeking) lead to: dominance; lowering school productivity; efficiency-reducing; compromising democracy; higher taxes; extortionary practices; funding left-wing political groups; opposing choice and alternative schools; etc.
This is an international behavior of teacher unions. They learn from each other how to “game” their communities.
Newspaper eye-openers may garner 1000s of comments of outrage to little effect. Which of the three courts will finally judge and stop this man-made human disaster, which harms children and society?

[Reply to a reader's comment: Teachers “Teach” & Also Convey An Attitude Of Resentment
We have about 20 Teacher Training Facilities Across Canada. I bet all (or most) have this book on their reading lists (mandatory or optional) — Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire.
Again, as in an earlier post, I make the point that the education “profession” has strong international connections. If you Google this book’s title and “teacher training” you will note how prevalent is its use. Also used in UK, NZ and Australia teacher training.
Teacher unionism plays on the feelings of teachers as being an oppressed class. And, many teachers in their classrooms communicate that students should make “meaning” out of their lives and question dominant views. “Change the world” is a major theme. ]
