Teachers' Unions: Concerned With Everything But Education

Well, maybe that title isn't completely fair. It's what comes to mind, though, when reading this:

The nation's two largest teachers' unions are joining the anti-Wal-Mart campaign, urging Americans to buy their back-to-school supplies somewhere else.

[...]

Speakers at the press conferences will present Wal-Mart with a failing report card, which gives Wal-Mart an "F" grade in five areas: poverty level wages; taxpayer abuse; poor benefits; discrimination; and child labor.


I thought teachers' unions would spend more of their time on actual school-related issues like poor test scores and the lagging of American students behind those other industrialized countries in math and other areas.

Feel-good gestures like the Wal-Mart campaign might make headlines, but they don't help our students. However, scholarship programs like the ones Wal-Mart offers to employees and their families do.

Hmmm...
