Obama - Man of the Unions

mobius481 · Mar 30, 2010

So on top of everything else that Obama has done for the unions, he is now letting states with strong teacher's unions be the ones who dictate which states get federal funding for schools. Louisiana is the loser in this situation.

Experts believed Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana all had strong -- if not stronger -- applications, but what they lacked was the nearly unanimous support from local unions and school districts obtained by Delaware and Tennessee.

"I think this is a win for the unions. What it shows is they have veto power over state application. If they don't sign on, their states are unlikely to get funding," said Michael Petrilli, vice president for National Programs and Policy at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute.
