A new book by Myron Lieberman
Renowned education expert and former school board negotiator Myron Lieberman argues that the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have become the primary obstruction to education reform in the United States. In a detailed catalogue of charges, he reveals how these unions block reform, divert teacher dues to partisan politics, stifle the views of their own members, and maintain a huge union bureaucracy whose compensation would startle the teachers who are paying for it. He exposes the complicated financial and political dealings of these unions, the overwhelming Democratic tilt to their PAC contributions, their deceptive accounting practices, their domination of the PTA, and more.
No one concerned about the future of education in America can afford to ignore Lieberman's message.
Myron Lieberman is Senior Research Scholar, Social Philosophy and Policy Center, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio. He has served as chief negotiator in over 200 contracts between school districts and teacher unions in six states. He has been a consultant for both the NEA and the AFT, and in 1962 he was a candidate for President of the AFT. He lives in Washington, DC.
