Why do Republicans hate union teachers?

[bachir93]

I am now under the belief that UNION's have nothing to do with it! the UNION is an excuse to go after the teacher!.............our politicians would like nothing better than an ignorant society casting votes!.....................teachers could get in the way of this, and have gotten in the way of this agenda, that's why we've "dumbed down" the public school system, and taken away teachers freedoms, so that they all teach from a box!

cons are well aware that an ignorant public is easily lied to, which is why they do best in states with the lowest school ratings...
