The COVID pandemic has afforded the National Education Association the opportunity to show even more people that teachers’ unions are toxic. To their credit, the NEA took that opportunity and ran with it.
For some reason, though, they still seem to think that people see them as the good guys. They’re pretty confident, in fact.
So confident, that they’re willing to use Twitter to gauge their popularity:
Strong educator unions benefit public school students.
Agree?

We’re not sure how official these sorts of Twitter polls are, but we’re guessing that the overall nature of the responses they’ve been getting is a pretty good reflection of public sentiment regarding the NEA and teachers’ unions in general right now:

Not exactly the warm reception they were going for, is it?
No I completely disagree

Last year the National Education Association paid its president Becky Pringle $431,317. In the 2020 cycle, NEA spent more than $20,000,000 giving money to Dems & advocating for progressive causes. https://t.co/2i23e0bmy1

Having attended public school from K-12, I saw unions encourage teachers to protest (as was case at my school district, Capistrano USD), discourage parental involvement/reforms, and rake in $$$.
Your motto is: Union first, public school students last. #FundStudentsNotSystems https://t.co/bXz99NAwFE

No. Strong educator unions benefit strong educator union members at the *expense* of children. And parents now know the truth. https://t.co/gynQpxEoaI

The purpose of the teacher's union is to make sure kids get the least amount of education for the most amount of money.

In that sense, the NEA is doing a fantastic job!

Emojis of every color should feel free to disagree with the NEA.
