I guess it should not shock me that this happens. I am wondering how they can spend their union’s dues, that are a mandatory payment by union employees, and paid for by taxpayers, intended forthe benefit of SCHOOL TEACHERS! Instead the funds are being funneled to special interests of the teachers unions.
How can anyone be so crass as to pay for political favors with monies that should go to help the teachers? This is why I really abhor unions. They are not helping the people they were originally designed to help. They are a political machine built to line the pockets of union bosses and the campaigns of democrats who are willing puppets happy to push the cause.
Once again the liberal media climb on board the union train and use their various print and tv venues to spin untruths about conservatives, and at the same time pimp the liberal logic of unions and how they can’t survive without democratic help.

FOX NEWS: A document the National Education Association filed with the U.S. Department of Labor in 2011 indicates that the teachers union donated $100,000 to Media Matters For America nearly two years ago, describing it as a payment for “public relations costs.” In the months that followed, Media Matters’ online coverage of teachers unions increased, focusing largely on attacking the Fox News Channel and other media outlets it considers “conservative” in nature.The $100,000 payment was first documented in “Shadowbosses: Government Unions Control America and Rob Taxpayers Blind,” a book by Citadel international politics professor Mallory Factor published on August 21. “[T]o ensure that NEA’s agenda makes its way in the media,” Factor wrote, “NEA has given $100,000 to Media Matters, the George Soros-funded liberal ‘charitable organization’ dedicated to targeting mythical right-wing media bias.” (RELATED – Book: Obamacare law designed to unionize 21 million health care workers) The Daily Caller has obtained an electronic document verifying Factor’s claim. It is available on a website operated by the Department of Labor’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.

And how about this tool in Washington State. A teacher who will not be fired but put on leave for ten days and moved to another school. My kids got a harsher punishment for staying out past their curfew.
