If you had asked me a few weeks ago if I’d be publicly lauding the teachers unions in my state of Rhode Island, I would have probably shot back with a quick “sure, when hell freezes over.” I am a former union member in two states (NEA) and have gone on the record repeatedly to say that I don’t think unions—at least in their current form—should be anywhere near public education.
