I would not teach in a unionized state. The NEA in NC makes snide remarks about non-Democrat political candidates in an obvious effort to cast aspersions on anyone not in agreement with their politics. (Of course, they support Obama-Lack-of-Care, but complain when the bill wants to tax teacher health care plans - and rightly so.)

Just wait until Osama Obama gets full wind in his sails: All teachers in all states will be unionized and have to take a loyalty oath to the fed. gov't.; textbook content will be uniform and socialist-oriented; all minorities will be heroes and all WASPs, including the Founders, will be disparaged; there will be one nationalist education system, with special privileges and benefits for minorities (as in Arizona, minority students with a racial history of anti-social behavior will be excused from punishment and correction). Students will be required to wear uniforms (anyone remember the Hitler Youth ?)Al Sharpton and Newt Gingrich are preparing to go around convincing Americans that they know something about education beyond their own personal experience. Americans, you have seen only the beginning of another man-made disaster designed to destroy the Republic.
