2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumdumpduncan.org...Go to this petition and sign. If I don't vote for Obama, it'll likely be because
of Arne Duncan. This man is instrumental in the dismantling of our public schools. He is killing an institution that is the great equalizer.
Obama will need every vote he can get, and many teachers are upset at policies coming out of Washington.

(3,491 posts)the BC Liberal party lost 2 major by elections and the reason certainly comes back to the way they are treating teachers in that Province. President Obama better realize that Education is a very important topic in most developed nations.

It's about more than voting. Teachers traditionally cough up $$$ for DEM candidates, make calls, and even make weekend trips to battleground states to trek door to door. This teacher did all of the above in '08 and will do NONE of the above in 2012. Lots of my compadres feel the same way.
I'm not sending $$ to someone who wants to basically get me fired because I have a union, tenure and seniority.Romney can do that just as easily as Obama.
That would be..... how do you say.... *nuts*.
