Teachers unions’ desire to hide from sunshine is quite understandable when, in union-controlled districts like Denver Public Schools, 60% of students cannot read or write at grade level.
In this 2022 file photo, Dale Munholland, the vice president of the Jefferson County Education Association, rallies his fellow union members ahead of their bargaining session with the Jefferson County school district in Golden, Colorado, Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2022. on Oct. 7 in The Denver Post? The best place to start is with what she conveniently chose not to address.
Isn’t it also ironic that she chose to attack the Woodland Park Board of Education, which is focused on improving academic achievement, for adopting a social studies curriculum that celebrates American exceptionalism, while her union adopted a resolution explicitly condemning capitalism? As to safety in schools, it is her union’s endorsed Denver Public School board member Auon’tai Anderson who led the successful effort to remove School Resource Officers from DPS’s school buildings, surrendering students and staff to predictable violence.
Please demand that any school board candidates you consider supporting prioritize improved student achievement, and possess the confidence and courage to implement practices and policies that motivate and incentivize better results. Elected members of boards of education must represent the interests of students, parents, and taxpayers, not a labor union.
