Some of you may know there is an ongoing teacher's strike in Oakland right now. Even though this is an opinion that probably angers a lot of my very left-leaning friends (and I am a left-leaning guy!), I am generally of the opinion that the union has become ridiculous and is now actively damaging the cause of public education in this city. I'm in agreement with this Op-Ed:
A teacher's union that strikes 3 times in 5 years can no longer credibly claim that they consider strikes to be a last-resort option. I also haven't forgotten how they dragged their feet on returning to in-person school even after COVID vaccines were out.
