The nation’s school teachers and other school workers contributed substantially to Trump’s Nov. 8 win.

1. not here

Walker has diminished our unions to 7% of the population. He is also diminishing our teacher population.

2. That makes absolutely no sense. Why should teachers vote for someone who wants to

break their unions??

3. Obama's Secretary Of Education Pick Left Teachers No Where To Go.

Obama's biggest mistake was his Education pick. Plus he did not repudiate and abolish all of Bush's policies. He did to openly support teachers unions and unions in general. Sure he did a few things that were pro labor but they looked token. Plus he supported charter schools when he should have said they need to be made illegal.

He did not enthusiastically support his base. And the base felt thrown to the wolves.

5. I had no idea teachers

loved the poorly educated. We need to leave this backwater nightmare. Teachers voted for this scumbag bully racist creep? I have no respect for anyone that voted for him and if you are a "teacher" you should be ashamed.

6. Betsy believes that if you can't afford education, you should sell Amway.

I am a retired teacher who struggled in the low paying teaching profession for 15 years. Under the Obama administration funding cut and union busting have taken their toll.

8. I wish people would have realized that if they're voting for

Trump, they're voting for a Republican administration and all that implies. I'd be surprised if many NC teachers voted for Trump because they're already suffering under McCrory and are well aware of what repuke governance means to teachers pay and unions.
