Have a friend who's a long-time teacher. Always defended her local union, saw them as effective at addressing real problems. But in the last year, all they say is that it's the teachers' white privilege that makes it impossible for students to learn. This is really blowing her mind. She even took someone she knows from the union aside to ask what the heck is going on, but didn't get much out of him. Likely, he's been told to keep his mouth shut. The local branches can't go up against the radical policies coming out at higher levels. She's thinking of retiring early bc things are getting so wacky at school.
