Kristof’s Misplaced War on Teacher Unions

For years, conservatives have routinely denounced teacher unions as the biggest problem in education. Not poverty or segregation, which four decades of research have consistently found to be the number one and number two predictors of low performance. Instead, the democratically-elected representatives of America’s teachers are to blame. For the right wing, these attacks have been wrong-headed but politically rational: teacher unions forcefully oppose the right’s pet ideas (including publicly funded private school vouchers), and work hard to elect liberal candidates who pledge to devote greater resources to public education. More recently, however, we’ve seen the rise of the liberal critic, who oddly regurgitates right wing talking points on teacher unions. Nicholas Kristof’s column in this morning’s New York Times is a prime example. Continue Reading on the Taking Note Blog.
