OK, Rory get ready to set the hook. I believe the union is helping through collective bargaining, political lobbying for thing such as smaller class sizes, cost of living , working conditions etc. Do I support everything they do , nope, but then again they are a representative association.

Vouchers ? I oppose vouchers, taking money from public education and giving it to private groups with their own agenda is full of pitfalls.
We all would like to direct a portion of our taxes to pet programs.
I understand PETA has set up schools to promote their agenda . Should vouchers be available to them?

Remember play nice!
