Obama obeyed the teachers unions; even so, they don't like him
...increasingly, the teachers' unions continued opposition to charter schools, school choice programs, merit pay and just about every other proposed educational reform under the sun is alienating voters across the political spectrum. There are no less than three documentaries about America's broken edcuation system coming out this year -- including one from the producer of An Inconvient Truth -- and every one of them paints teachers' unions in a negative light. If teachers' unions are now upset that the Obama administration isn't toeing their line and Democrats feel increasing empowered to embrace eductaion reform rather than the unions' campaign cash, that's probably a good thing.
