Are the democrat party and government teachers unions overseeing the demise of our education system?

Yes. When students see how one can earn 10x as much as a hard working person in private sector for doing nothing but thuggery they learn their lesson. And join with street gangs / ACORN.

What "union bosses" are paid has no impact on education funding, but their efforts to make teaching a viable profession for more people certainly does, so I would say that this investment may make our students smarter, but only if we can stop the ongoing Republican war against public education and return to the era when Americans actually took pride in their schools, took pride in their government, took pride in their infrastructure, etc.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
