As a former public school employee and union member (I literally grew up in the union, as my dad was, also union.) I can say this rhetoric has really been cemented over the last 15 years. The tone moved from protecting wages and benefits to increasing involvement in student issues to social control. The communists are deeply entrenched in the union leadership now and the rank and file don't dare speak out or they will be blacklisted. (yes, there was always some underlying sentiment, but they went from union members to "brothers and sisters" to "comrades" toward the end of my career). Great work, as always, Karlyn!
