\nHowever, getting rid of Bullock hasn’t solved rank-and-file teachers’ problems. Teachers, parents, and administrators are dissastified with the system, and teacher union officials are resisting any change that may result in fewer teachers in their forced dues-paying ranks.\n<\/p>\n

\n"Reformers" are calling for more oversight and transparency, but true reform can only occur if rank-and-file teachers are given a choice to keep their hard-earned money. Only the elimination of forced dues will make it possible to hold union officials accountable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
