Conservative writer and political analyst Mollie Hemingway took a shot at teacher unions during a recent appearance on FOX News, claiming that no other institution in America has done as much damage.

It is an indisputable fact that the teacher unions donate almost exclusively to Democrats and work tirelessly to get Democrats elected.

It often seems as though these unions are more focused on elections than they are on the education of America’s children.

From The Federalist:

“No other institution in America has caused as much damage as the teachers unions over the last 50 years,” Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway said on Outnumbered. “Part of it is that they are so politically biased. They’re one of the biggest arms of the Democratic Party. They run many of their get-out-the-vote campaigns and are just a major funder of the Democratic Party.”

There is some good news here.

Recent analysis found that the teacher unions are losing influence.

From WLNS News:

Teacher union power slipping nationally, MSU researchers say

Teachers’ unions have lost ground in education politics across most of the country since 2012, according to a new Michigan State University analysis, even as Michigan’s union strength increased two spots to rank 18th nationally.

The report, published by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, found that 45 states and Washington, D.C. saw declines in the share of K-12 teachers who are union members, compared with 2012, the last time the researchers measured union strength nationwide. The findings suggest that other interest groups are increasingly shaping education policy alongside, or instead of, teachers’ unions.

“We often assume the teachers’ unions are the most influential actors in state education politics, but that narrative is no longer true in many places,” Rebecca Jacobsen, a professor in MSU’s Department of Educational Administration in the College of Education, said in a release…

Researchers noted that union strength was loosely tied to state political control. In the 2012 report, four of the strongest union states had Democratic governing trifectas, and researchers have said that figure has grown. The report also found that states with higher poverty rates tend to have weaker unions, regardless of membership or revenue.

Most people probably wouldn’t even notice the activity of these unions if they were more politically balanced, but they’re just not.

It’s a serious issue.
