Two of the nation’s top teachers unions have lost nearly 60,000 members, a good sign for education and the health of this nation and our children.
The National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) both lost a ton of members.
Per the Daily Caller:
The NEA, the nation’s largest teachers union, lost 40,107 members while the AFT, the nation’s second largest teachers union, declined by 19,078, according to the DOL reports. The decline comes as public schools added 95,000 educators from September 2021 to 2022.
The decline in the NEA’s membership leaves the union with 2,496,627 million educators, the lowest union membership since 2006, 74 million reported. The AFT has 1,189,904 with just 43.5% of its members working full time.
The decline in membership comes after the unions dropped 82,000 members in the 2019-2020 school year, the 74 million reported.
This is all very good news.
But better news would be the complete end to teachers union.
After all, the nature of the beast means that a teachers union only cares about the wealth of teachers, not the health and education of kids.
Kids are NOT what a teachers union cares about.
So, the fewer teachers paying dues to these cretins, the better.
