Did you know the first full week of February is the celebration of “Black Lives Matter Week of Action” in many public schools?  

It’s puzzling to consider why public schools – whose responsibility is to serve the taxpayers by educating children in academics and citizenship – would set aside an entire week to promote an organization that boldly claimed it, “Disrupts the Western prescribed nuclear family structure,” and inspires young people to riot. But since I was a public school teacher for 28 years, I know exactly why America’s schools have lost their mission to educate.    

The reason? Unions, pure and simple. 

That’s by design, and it’s an existential threat to the future of America.  

Alternatives are looking better all the time. The government schools may some day return to their position as trustworthy educators of the nation’s children, but that will never happen until the unions and their allies are utterly eradicated from our schools.
