More Teachers' Union Activity Against Education

In the past, I have said and linked to many posts about my issues with teachers' unions. Here is yet another example of teachers unions who won't support a bill in Colorado that would provide nearly two thrids of all education spending to the classroom.

Aside from the difficulty of saying what is and is not classroom money, the Colorado Education Association opposes the idea because they want support staff to be included in the spending. More likely, the CEA didn't come up with the idea and therefore can't support it. Similarly, the idea came from a Republican state Senator and my goodness, the teachers' union can't be seen supporting a Republican--even one with good ideas.

Colorado Teachers Unions Oppose More Money in Classrooms--sort of
