Teacher unions the enemies of ‘social justice,’ not the champions

Here’s the intro to my take for City Journal[1] on the absurdity of the California Federation of Teachers pretending to care about minorities.

“The online premiere last week of the California Federation of Teachers’ short cartoon, ‘Tax the Rich: An Animated Fairy Tale,’ attracted such a torrent of mockery that the state’s second-largest teachers’ union set the video to ‘private’ on its YouTube channel after a few days. [… But the] funniest thing about ‘Tax the Rich’ is that the 120,000-member California Federation of Teachers presents itself as an avatar of social justice. In fact, by working in tandem with the 400,000-member California Teachers Association, the CFT enforces a Sacramento status quo that holds minorities in contempt and elevates teachers’ and unions’ interests above all others.”

Here is the “Tax the Rich” video link[2].
