Mollie Hemingway: The American Federation of Teachers Cares About Power and Helping Democrats Expand Power

EXCERPT:

HEMINGWAY: "As it happens, my mother is a retired public school teacher and that was her union, the American Federation of Teachers. And if you think the education of children is something that the union is interested in, or the support of good teachers who teach children to learn, if you think that’s the mission of the union, you are sorely mistaken. The purpose of the union, the purpose of any system is that which it does. And what does the AFT do? It supports the Democrat Party. So when you think, what in the world are they doing going after target related to ICE, it’s not because they care about teachers, good teachers or students and their outcomes, they care about power and helping Democrats expand power and they think this is a good issue for them to run on.”
