By Kyle Olson | Published: August 5, 2010
Unions moved one step closer to receiving their own bailout Wednesday when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the U.S. House back from recess to vote on a stimulus bill for unionized public employees.

Teachers Unions Fear Competition and Will be the Downfall of American Education

By Kyle Olson | Published: August 4, 2010
There is a weird dichotomy in American education: many teachers across the country impress upon their students that they must succeed for our nation to remain competitive in a global economy.

Every now and then, I kind of feel sorry for President Obama.  If there’s anyone that has seen bad schools, it would be a community organizer from the south side of Chicago.

Teachers Unions Fail to Secure Pork for Public Employees

By Kyle Olson | Published: July 23, 2010
It appears the millions of dollars the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers spent electing President Obama and a Democratic Congress is turning out to be a bad investment, because the Democrats in power failed to deliver the $10 billion “education jobs fund” for the unions. Even the trimmed amount, originally $23 billion, [...]
