but this is what we are seeing. , all other teachers unions, this has been a cathartic moment for us. is brought byase these ideological interests who want to destroy workers'ability to have a better life, which is what unions do. if we did not have this case, it would be better if we did not have one, what this has done to our union is be transformative. because, people are talking with each other in a way that i have not even in a couple of decades. what we're seeing within our membership, is that when our membership actually sees and understands that it is the right wing who wants to take away their power, have a voice at the table, they are really pissed. so this is a long winded way of saying, i don't really know, i know that they want to use it to a defined as. and the evidence is pretty clear. when unions have gone through this kind of antiunion changes, sweep of legal changes, then the voter share for democrats goes down. in michigan and wisconsin the aboutshare went down by 3.5% after these things were done in michigan and wisconsin. host: we have to leave it there. the presi

caitlin: teachers unions are a stalwart of grassroots organizing and fundraising. what remains to be seen is how much of this decision what impact these unions financially and in terms of membership. both of those combined could definitely dampen their political activity. teachers unions are such an integral part of politics and the community, so it will be interesting to see what happens. that being said i spoke to a , number of local leaders this week ahead of the case, and they are still holding out hope that there is power in numbers. every single school district in the country has teachers that are some of the most engaged in their community. they are thinking along that fact, that you cannot find a congressional district that does -- does not have a teacher in it. will still have a seat at the table when it comes to politics, but it could be more diminished. >> we thank you both. >> thank you. "landmark on c-span's cases," we will look at a case that solidified the government's ability to take action not specified in the constitution. with a this case universi

of the teachers union has been silent on whitehurst.despite all of these botched investigations, provisions in the teacher union contract in portland actually protects whitehurst from being revealed. eventually, whitehurst was forced to surrender his teaching license, but by? not because of these complaints from all of these women overall of these many many years, but because he acted inappropriately and mistreated a male colleagues but, whitehurst is far from an anomaly. in the year 2014 alone, a study came out showing that teachers in the school staff reportedly committed nearly 800 sex crimes against students and that's just the two that the iceberg because remember that whitehurst was protected for years his school district and did not become part of any of those types of statistics, so how many of those sorts of things are courage threat our education system that are never reported and get those victims like rose and others never get there fair hearing? there's never eight #need to movement for them like that's going on in hollywoo

if you look at teachers' unions here in san francisco, right, the san francisco teachers' union issued a lesson plan for all teachers in the district after president trump's election that called trump a racist and successes isist man who -- sexist man who had a huge racist and sexist base. so it wasn't them just attacking trump, it was them attacking all of -- can i assume all of you, you know? -- but all of the people who when voted for him as well -- who voted for him as well. the lesson plan asked students to create a poster directed at trump supporters who are described as dehumanizing students. all right? the lesson plan only included articles and reports and videos by left-wing sources and publications like producer/director michael moore. so how are pro-trump students shows supposed to feel when trump is characterized by teachers as racist, sexist and up just? there's no acknowledgment of the chilling effect that such policies have on free speech in general and specifically on the ability of students to make up their own minds about candidates and policies. a lot of you probably

brothers and others have announced their going to $400 million to break us, to break teachers unions, try to undermine and destabilize public schools. their words. they are going to do a bit youic campaign that says want a raise? get rid of your union dues. this is what we are seeing. this has actually been a pretty cathartic moment for us t. i think this case is brought by that ideological interests want to destroy workers ability to have a better life. but this has done within our union, it has been cathartic and transformative, as people are talking with each other in a way that i have not seen in a couple of decades. but we are seeing within our membership is that when our membership actually sees and understands it is the right wing wants to take away their four, pissed. really the evidence is pretty clear. when unions have gone through ,his kind of antiunion changes the vote share for the democrats go down. in michigan and wisconsin the vote share would down by about 3.5% after these things were done in michigan and wisconsin. we have to leave it there. thank you for being this

then we say reality check especially of our teachers unions destroying kids learning, that's an easy ypothesis to test. look at the states that don't allow teachers to unionize. how are they doing on the standardized test. look at the ones that are overwhelmingly unionize. in canada, every teacher is in a union and they do better on those international tests which we are hugely skeptical of but that's the preferred metric of the corporate reformers. so we set out to do these myths in the last now will say by way of opening is that the other motivation was that we started this article when already duncan was secretary of education. he was ceo of chicago public schools and a liberal but they did a puffed piece in the new yorker and begins by saying in the national conversation about educational reform there are two camps. one is the revolutionaries and that the people want charters, vouchers and end of teachers use and so on. then there's the liberal traditionalists who love the teachers unions and loves the college of education that they are only looked at each other and we said were n
